After 16.87 at SamsungGalan just over a week ago, Christian Olsson went to the GE Galan in Stockholm Globe Arena hoping to jump over 17 meters.
He succeeded.
Defar had the record in his hand until the last lap, but despite the force. Ethiopian, who at the weekend missed the world record with seven-tenths of 3,000 meter, was now 48 hundredths from here own record in the last year.
She sat on the blue tracks afterwards and shook here head in disappointed.
In the high jump, Blanka Vlasic came to the Globe, with a target at Kajsa Bergqvist world record at 2.08, but had to settle for 2.01. Emma Green did 1.92 in the season-opening - clearly approved.Emma was then at least a good attempt at 1.95.
As always, we a proud sponsor and equipment provider for GE galan this year also.
