A few weeks ago, Kalle Berglund told SVT about the past year when he was dealing with mental illness after a long period of performance anxiety.
Until now, there has been no individual race after the Olympics.
With a time of 3.39.92, he came seventh at the Bauhaus Gala.
One year after the bottom scrape
- It's about as I thought.
I'm pretty happy and did my best.
It was fun and I got a little flashback a year ago when I felt the worst.
Where are you on your way back?
- I am very good mentally, but have to work on physically.
In the last six months, I have trained about 75 percent of what I usually do, so there is a lot to be desired, but it is not important right now.
"One day at a time"
He does not really know what the future looks like.
- I take one day at a time.
The ambition is to run a few races and just train and have fun this summer.
It will be a little holiday instead of training camp, so it will be nice to have a normal summer as well.
21-year-old Samuel Pihlström was the best Swedish runner in fifth place with a personal best time of 3.37.23.
Jonathan Grahn also broke a new Swedish junior record of 3.40.29.
