22-year-old Julia Wennersten is ready for her first semifinal in a global championship.
But it was certainly on the hair.
Several changes
When she, after a race where she started well and then was in the lead of the field during all 60 meters, the scoreboard first announced that she was third - and thus ready for the semifinals.
But after a while, the list of results changed to that she was third, only one thousandth after the German Monika Zapalska.
But the feelings would change again, when another result came - where Wennersten was a thousandth before the German.
- First I was very happy, then I was very sad.
Yes, my God, she says to SVT Sport, and continues:
- But now it feels good.
I understand that they had to review a few times.
What do you think about them going out with the times so fast, they could not have waited a few minutes?
- Yes exactly.
It would have made it easier for the active.
But now it feels okay, just because I got third place.
"Felt good!"
Wennersteen's time, 8.17, is only three hundredths of her personal record.
- It felt good!
I was good with good in the beginning, but got high over one of the last hurdles, but it felt like I got good into the race again, so it still felt good.
says Wennersten, who was very happy about the semi-final place:
- Great fun, really!
It was a goal, but I knew it looked tough in advance.
So now it feels great fun!
