Back in Sweden the Swedish Championships in Athletics are on this weekend, and yesterday my good friend Bea won the 400m! Congratulations! She didn’t run quite fast enough to qualify for the European championships that runs in our home town Gothenburg in August this year both both she and her partner Christofer who runs 100m and 200m have another couple of weeks to qualify and they’re both really close, Christofer has already run under the qualifying time but in a little bit too much wind so it’s not valid, and Bea only has to improve by 0.5s.
To gain a bit of momentum coming up to the European Championships a couple of other members of the Swedish national team has joined up with local hard rock band Hammerfall to make a music video, it’s quite funny to watch so enjoy

update 25 July - Beatrice qualified a couple of days ago with a new personal best, congratulations again! and Christofer is most likely in the 4×100 relay team but it’s not clear if he’s actually running or is just on standby.
