New Swedish pole vault record – Helsingborgs Dagblad

There is still a much better position than expected. Most impressed Angelica Bengtsson, who soared over 4.60 meters in the third attempt, two centimeters higher than her record level of 2012.

– It is thanks to an increase in the level that occurred last winter, really fun, says Bengtsson TT.

21-year-old jumped with a little longer rods for the first time, a transition that usually takes a few races to adapt to.

– It worked very well and now I’m looking forward to the Olympics, so far, I think, she says.

Bengtsson, who have some heavy seasons behind him, got it to come off properly during the indoor season, including the European Championship bronze and Swedish indoor record of 4.70 meters. A height that she hopes clear already underway Thursday in Sollentuna GP.

– I have a very good feeling, says Bengtsson as with its recent record jump is twelfth in the world best list.

– A fantastic fun day. All have really struggled until the finish and fought for each placement, said the tower Klint to SVT.

Besides Bengtsons record delighting coach for Elise Malmberg’s personal best 400 meter hurdles, 56.06, a time that undercut the World Cup qualifiers border.

– If we can pick some plus points here and there can go, said the tower Klint, among other things, forced to cope without reliable – and damaged – scorer who Abeba Aregawi, Irene Ekelund, meraf bahta and Emma Green.
