The Indoor World Championships in Athletics will be decided in Belgrade March 18-20 and the timing of the championship has also influenced the 800-meter specialist Lovisa Lindh's decision.
- It is later than usual and for the summer it is better like this.
The plan has still been to compete during the indoor season, but not with the indoor WC as a goal.
- No, I can understand that some have thought so because I usually aim for the indoor championships, but now the summer is special and the focus is on it.
The fact that she missed scheduled competitions in Liévin and Birmingham in the last week due to illness has not affected the decision to give up.
- No, it was taken long before that, says Lovisa Lindh to SVT Sport.
The 2022 Outdoor World Cup will be decided July 15-24 in Oregon, USA and the European Outdoor Championships in Munich August 15-21.
