Martin Enholm ran the time of 1.45.91 in Birmingham on February 22, 1992. Until earlier today, the time was the third oldest Swedish record.

Then 23-year-old Andreas Kramer smashed his time at the athletics gala in Torun, Poland, when he finished third in a fast race of 1.45.09.

The former record holder followed the race and was not too surprised by the outcome.

- It was probably more or less expected.

It was more about when not about.

He has shown the class many, many times, for several years, says Martin Enholm.

"Very good time"

His own record race is etched in his memory, he describes.

Enholm already knew then that it would be difficult to beat.

- It was a very good time.

And it's so hard to beat because there are so few competitions of that dignity indoors.

It's a part of it all.

There are not many opportunities to beat it in. It should be the right race too, and it was now.

Quick to congratulate

Kramer looked worn out in the race, but as soon as Enholm saw the winning time and the distance down to Kramer, he knew that the record was no longer his.

The former runner was quick to congratulate - it probably rang on Kramer's phone already during the jogging.

- It is already done.

It was obvious.

I have had a dialogue with him before as well and congratulated and discussed a few different races and so on.

Just to congratulate.

There are no other thoughts about it at all.

The time 1.45.09 is the fifth best in the world this year.

The European Indoor Championships will be decided on March 4-7 in Torun.
