Melwin Lycke Holm went in at 1.95 and managed the first three heights (1.95, 2.01 and 2.05) directly.
In the following two heights 2.09 and 2.12 he managed in the third attempt.
Despite good attempts at 2.14 became too difficult.
On the last attempt, he was close to managing the height.
- It was a struggle today, I can say.
I also managed 2.05 with tremors so it was not much that was true, says Melwin Lycke Holm to SVT Sport.
Finnkampen was the first for Melwin Lycke Holm's first.
- It was cool and a competition that I grew up with at home.
Too bad it went so bad today.
The thing was that I jumped well on the jump with a short effort, but it did not match the long effort today.
But I have not been able to train as I wanted to do lately, he says.
Finland won - in the last jump
Finland won 12-10 in the high jump after Arttu Mattila took 2.14 in the last jump.
Emil Uhlin finished second when he took 2.12 in the first attempt, which is a personal best.
- It is clear that it is sour, but I am still satisfied.
When I woke up I did not think I would manage 2.12.
It was a lot of adrenaline.
