This weekend, when he for the first time ran in a 10,000 meter race, it became an SM bronze and a new junior record. He has only been practicing running seriously this past year, previously he has been playing football.

In addition to school work and running, hip hop is his big interest. He has a YouTube channel where he reviews music and publishes his own songs under the name Young Emil.

- After I run, I usually make music. I have been listening to music for a long time, I never intended to become an athlete, says Emil Millán de la Oliva.

Talents leave the club in Norrköping

Dad Fidel is his coach and he says that despite training at Norrköping's new athletics stadium, they belong to Eskilstuna's athletics club. It was the club that could provide the best financial conditions and opportunities to go to training camps.

- If you don't get development opportunities in your home town, then there are other clubs, especially in the Stockholm and Gothenburg area, who are happy to take care of talented runners, says Fidel Millán de la Oliva.

He says that if Emil is to develop, he must get out to training camp.

"Must seek sponsors"

Emil's 14-year-old sister Alice is also very promising - Swedenetta in her age group of 800 meters. But the risk is that she also leaves the Norrköping Club Tjalve.

- Many associations must probably step up a bit and look for sponsors to be able to develop talents, says Fidel Millán de la Oliva
