He entered the time 1.18.44, just over a minute before second place Diego Garcia.

The competition took place in Spanish Murcia.

Karlström made a big splash when he took a World Cup bronze during the World Athletics Championships in Doha 2019.

Perseus Karlström is part of Sweden's Olympic squad for Toyo this summer.
