20-year-old Elise Malmberg came third in his heat and made it to the semifinals in the 400 hurdles. And she did it in a convincing way.
– I was able to push a bit more if it needed, says a very happy 20-year-old.
In July, she won gold Youth Championship in Tallinn. Now she is in Beijing on his first senior championships and she knew of.
Ad:
– I was so nervous when we were waiting to go on stage and I saw the stands and was completely shaken up. But then I felt that it is an achievement that I am
She ran in the first attempt heat and started on the inside lane. On the track, outside her she had the world’s best in the 400 meters hurdles, Kaliese Spencer of Jamaica.
– I tried not to think about it. She is an ordinary man she. I thought not to take her back on her for it had probably been a bit too tough. So I went more for the others.
How did the race?
– I had a plan to take fifteen steps up to the sixth hurdle so that the becomes the same leg all the way. And the plan was me and then it was just gassing everything you got that last bit up to the finish. When I went over the last hurdle so I looked a little to the right and felt that I have been a fourth place if I just press a little.
– I was thrilled when I got the goal, says Elise Malmberg and smiles with the whole face.
She has not run 400 meters hurdles more than a year, and her strengths is that she never gives up. She is only with the stretch so it must be very sure that she will not be able to get past some other runners.
Now waiting for the semifinals tomorrow.
– I hope I get a similar track so I know roughly what pace I should stay. I will gladly court two again.
– I’m still quite above that with the pace and how to open so I would love to see many. It becomes difficult if one has outwards.
Her time in goal was 55.97, just nine hundredths from the personal record. Can you beat it?
– I feel a tenth during PB (personal best) if I get to it.
– Now I have even less pressure on me, at least from myself. To take me to the finals was no plan right away, but now I’m in the semifinals and only to pick as many as you can.
On a scale of one to ten, how do you rate this?
– Right now it’s a ten, before the race was an eight, for then it was nervous, says a happy Elise Malmberg.
If it went well for Elise Malmberg it went considerably worse for assets brothers Anatole Ibanez and Perseus Karlström the men’s 20 kilometers. Perseus broke and Anatole was the 41st man.
