In May, Carl Bengtström broke a new personal record in the Diamond League in Eugene at 48.52.
Now he will compete there again, but now in the World Cup.
- I have driven here before and it ended in a personal record, says Carl Bengtström.
"Where I will have to perform"
- On paper, I will pass the three attempts.
I will put all my gunpowder towards the semifinals, this is where I will have to perform to reach the final and reload from there.
Previous experiences from competitions pave the way for good self-confidence.
- I have done some championships before, mainly indoors, which have been very successful.
In general, I have good self-confidence to manage many races.
The goal for the World Cup is clear
Before the 22-year-old enters the World Cup, his goal is clear: Personal record or final.
- My goal is to get to the final, those are the biggest goals.
But I will not be very sad if I do not manage to break a personal record.
- I would be happy with some of that.
On July 16 at 22.20 (Swedish time) it's time for the 400 meter hurdles for men.
