– You see how you sink down a bit and it looks like a safety jump, says SVT Sports expert Alhaji Jeng, somewhat surprised that it was so far, about Montler’s final victory jump. The Swede’s second best jump was at 8.00. Montler’s Swedish indoor record is 8.31 from the European Championships in Torun last year.
Second was the Frenchman Erwan Konate at 7.98.
Lovisa Lindh flopped in her indoor debut in the 800 meters and was never in the race but finished sixth and last of those who finished in 2.09.08. The world champion from Doha 2019, the Ugandan Halimah Nakaayi, won in 2.02.81.
– It sometimes looked good in the beginning but then the speed was increased and then the energy was not there, says Jeng about Lindh’s efforts.
