It was a sixteen year old who saved my evening in the Globe.

Lisa Gunnarsson flew over the new youth world record 4:49 in the women’s pole and introduced himself seriously to the Swedish audience.

It was the same experience as five years ago when Angelica Bengtsson set a new junior world record with 4.63 age of seventeen.

And Swedish athletics continues to live in hope.

Now I will not portray Lisa Gunnarsson any aspiring superstar even as a senior.

It is a long and arduous way to go from youth star, and step into the adult world where competition is quite another.

a telling example:

in the five years since Angelica Bengtsson’s magical night in the Globe in 2011, she has been seven centimeters better.

It is 1.4 centimeters per year on average.

Here in the Globe reefs Angelica out already at 4:39 and got beaten by his heiress Lisa Gunnarsson for the first time.

I have a feeling that there will be more.

Meanwhile, it might precisely what Angelica needs. A contender on the national level that sharpens the mind and gives new motivation.

Now Angelica significantly depressed after the miss and prepared to spend the entire indoor season.

I can understand that.

she still has a chance to get to the World championships in Portland in the US, but considering that her big goal is the Olympics in Rio in the summer she might do well to skip the indoor championships all still will have forgotten after the summer Olympics.

Lisa Gunnarsson’s Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020 that may be necessary.

When she is still only 21.

Lisa got a small breakthrough already last year when she jumped 4.25 and was a member of the JEM already at age 15.

Now, she has already raised his personal best by 24 centimeters in the winter and set a new youth world record twice this season.

She jumped the 4.47 of French Eaubonne for just over a week ago.

Lisa just like Angelica lives and trains in France.

Now she saved this evening in the Globe that I have never seen so sparsely populated, then this indoor gala started in 1990.

indoor award shows in Europe has been on the wane for some time and one by one has been the bottom.

Sooner swarmed with them.

Now, those who fought to remain on the knees.

Globe Awards is a pure loss of business this winter, then the main sponsor XL Construction defected after five years of jacking.

the organizers have not found someone new and that the audience fails does not make it better.

Gala risk being shut down if they can not find a sponsor for 2017 and it would be incredibly boring for a gala that has become an institution in Swedish athletics and given so many magical evenings.

There were two more world records in the Globe when Djibouti Ayanleh Souleiman ran in Case of 2: 14.20 in the 1000 meters and Genzebe Dibaba smashed the world record on an English mil (4: 13:31).

But I find it

difficult to get very excited about the world record beaten at odd spacers which are not included in the championships.

It exploded through a race of 500 meters in the Globe and in there somewhere is the limit for me.

What should the organizers find in order to get a new world record to boast about next year?

750 meters?

Yes, if there are any races at all.

I had been looking forward to seeing Emma Green’s comeback in the Swedish contest, but she felt an aching heel on warm ups, and did not want to take any risks.

Emma who is not competing at all last season when she struggled to bring order to a troublesome back.

I do not begrudge her really a last Olympics, and especially this year when the chances of a medal increases significantly if now off Russia may not participate.

last year, topped the Russians Anna Chicherova and Marija Kutjina world statistics with 2:03 and 2:01 and Kutjina won World Championship gold in Beijing.

Women altitude can be a real Swedish treat in the summer, when two Swedish girls already passed the Olympic qualifiers limit 1.94.

Erika Kinsey with 1.97 and Sofie Skoog 1.94.

It might actually be three Swedes in the same branch in the Olympics.

odain rose qualified for the World Cup with the times 6.62 60 meter. New personal. It pays to train with Susanna Kallur.

Michel Tornéus stayed at 7.87 in length premiere. Hardly an answer that makes him eager to go to the World Cup in Portland.

But congratulations to Andreas Otterling who won the length of the race on the new personbästat 8.12.

It was just three centimeters from the Olympics -kvalgränsen at 8:15.

That said:

Swedish athletics live in hope.
