Eurén after the European Championship bronze: That was a little half-founded – Göteborgs-Posten

It was a European Championship bronze Johan Eurén after he defeated Vitali Schur in the bronze match.

– It was a little half-founded, he says .

the 30-year-old from Gothenburg won his second European Championship bronze on Saturday evening. Eurén or “Örgrytes crane” had a tough route to the bronze match. After battling back from a knee injury was the loss in the semifinal against the Turk Eurén rıza kayaalp which quickly went to 4-0 and won the semi-final. In the bronze match continued to be tight and tough wrestling – after a lot of ifs and buts Eurén got hold of Schur and got around him. After six tough minutes Eurén won 2-1 and added a European Championship bronze in the collection.

– It’s a little half-good, no, but it’s nice! Proof of that is, I’ve been looking for this confirmation a while now. It has been a long road back, says Eurén.

How is the rehab time been?

– Heavy. I did get a setback in December so that I would even be here on the carpet is well nothing I believed in. But it felt good with the knee, I felt a little on warming but otherwise it was no problem.

By the 2012 London Olympics was the bronze for the wrestler who now hope for further success in this summer’s Olympics in Rio. A championship where Eurén previously been quite open that it might be his last.

– The next competition for me is the Olympic qualifiers in a month. Until then I’ll train as usual, it will not be calmer or less. Maybe it will be a little shorter matches but we will train on hard.

How do you see the European Championships?

– Right queue race because I felt no pressure from outside or from myself. Then I got six good games where several of those went to six minutes. Physics I felt no problem, I lost not because of flåset. Then I will not be on top now.

Not?

– No, none of us are well really. Had you been there now it would have been wrong, it’s about a month at the Olympic qualifiers then I’ll be at your best.

How are you celebrating?

– There will be a dinner on the town, my coach is from Latvia and has promised to take with us on any domestic location. It will be good.
