Fougberg and Green to the finals – Swedish Dagbladet

– It felt great in the body today, said 29-year-old.

Finnish Sandra Eriksson, who is expected to be Fougbergs major contenders for the gold on Sunday, also took easily to the final.

In the high jump qualifier Emma Green went to the finals after completing 1.89 in the third and final attempt. A total of 15 jumpers went through to Sunday’s final.

It was worse for the heptathlon author Jessica Samuelsson, who was forced to abandon the long jump today. According to the team’s press officer Fredrik Trahn is “apparently pain in the back of one thigh that is the problem for Samuelsson.”

Samuelson’s coach Dejan Mirkovic writes on Twitter, “We will decide later if she throws the spear.”
