The 300 meter hurdles is a distance that is not run very often, nor is it a distance that has an official world record.
But Femke Bol's time, 36.86, still gossips that last year's Olympic bronze medalist in the 400 meter hurdles will be counted on this season.
It was no less than half a second faster than the previous record time, as the Czech Zuzana Hejnova noted for 2013.
- This was a crazy surprise.
I was hoping to run in 37 seconds.
I hit two hurdles during the race and said to myself: “Come on, Femke!
Work the last few meters. ”
When I saw the time, I understood why I felt so much lactic acid in my legs, she says, according to the newspaper De Telegraaf.
Weak competition by Montler
From the Swedish results, we note that both Andreas Kramer (800 meters at 1.45.95), Vidar Johansson (3000 meters obstacle at 8.32.84) and Melwin Lycke-Holm (2.10 in high jump) were noted for the new year's best.
On the other hand, it was "only" 7.89 for Thomas Montler in the long jump, which can be compared with the personal best of 8.27 that he touched in Greece last week.
