After three straight demolitions of 1.82, Sofie Skoog stopped at 1.77 in the high jump in Finnkampen at Stockholm Stadium.
Thus, Skoog has made the last competition of his career.
- It was very difficult to know how I would react.
If I were to lie down and be sad or cry like I did today.
I just feel that there are a lot of emotions, says Sofie Skoog in SVT's broadcast.
Already on the warm-up, she felt that the emotions took over.
- This has meant so much and I have had so much fun.
I could never dream of jumping as high as I did.
I have gained so much through sports.
When the 31-year-old, who jumped 1.94 as the best, sums up her career, it is above all a person she will miss.
- Erika (Kinsey), as a person she is.
The life we lived, traveled the world together for so many years.
It's a special life but I will miss it.
What was it like to end your career with Finnkampen at Stockholm Stadium?
- It sounds silly, but this is what I dreamed of.
I have had a tough season and my goal was to do the Swedish Championships and Finnkampen.
Today there is an audience on site and sun, it is absolutely fantastic.
Erika Kinsey stayed at 1.88 and won the competition. Kinsey also made the last race of his career and was hugged by Skoog immediately after the victory.
