First indoor season (’11) consisted of four 1500m races within just 12 days: On all occasions left the opponents in second half to win unopposed (margins between 1.89 and 3.62 seconds) ... Injury problems following summer, returned in full force in May ‘12 with PB 3:59 for 2nd place in Shanghai Diamond League ... Ran six out seven ’12 DL 1500m-races collecting three 1st, one 2nd and two 3rd places to take the overall title ... In ’12 Olympics after winning heat and semi with ease unlucky in final as a runner fell immediately in front of her at the bell. Barely avoided falling herself but lost momentum and the contact with the runners at the front. Did narrow the gap somewhat but was unable to really challenge for a medal despite finishing just 0.80 behind winner ... Opened her ’13 at XL-galan (Stockholm) on 21 February “with a bang” running 3:58.40, the 2nd fastest ever just 12 hundredths off the WIR ... With her relaxed, smooth long stride thrives off fast even paces: In Stockholm race 100m-sections were consistently reeled off in 16.2 +/- a couple of tenths before speeding up to sub-15 for the last two ... At ’13 European Indoors won the 1500m by a whopping and in modern athletics unmatched 9.72 seconds ... Outdoors in ’13 a perfect record of victories in 9 out of 9 competitions including Worlds and 6 DL ... Same format as last year for the indoor season, i.e. the XL-galan in Stockholm and the international championship ... Just like in ’13 ran second fastest ever in the Stockholm meet and then won the World title in Sopot by 6.51 sekonds! ... The winning streak dating back to Aug ’12 ended on 31 May in DL Eugene where she was 2nd (still in 3:57!) ...

In March '06 ran an unofficial European Indoor record for 300m in Liévin lowering Erwin Skamrahl's 20 years old mark of 32.72 by 0.11 ... First international success as a 400m-runner (silver at '01 European Juniors) but then chose 200m as main event to improve his speed ... However, long term focus remained at 400m and after '06 ECh 200m silver switched priorities and refocused on the 1-lap event ... In summer of '07 lowered PB by over one second and in Osaka WCh ran sub-45 in all three rounds ... Had four individual silvers, one bronze and two 4th places from international championships before striking gold at '09 European Indoors ... From '01 WCh to '09 WCh competed in every available championship (Olympic, World and European) outdoors and indoors, i.e. did 17 straight championship starts before passing the '10 indoor season. 57 em_guide_2014_140807:EM_guide_PDF 2014-08-07 13:02 Sida 58 SWEDISH TEAM – MEDIA GUIDE.

European Athletics Championships, Zürich 2014 Tidsprogram med svenska deltagare Sammanställningen redovisar det av Europeiska Friidrottsförbundet fastställda ”slutliga” tidsprogrammet. Observera dock att ändringar i det ”definitiva” tidsprogrammet erfarenhetsmässigt görs ända in i det sista. Oftast är ändringarna marginella, dvs det kan handla om flyttningar 5-10-15 minuter i någon riktning för ett antal grenar. I programmet nedan har sedan lagts in det svenska deltagande som hittills tagits ut. Naturligtvis är deltagandet i semifinaler och finaler inte givet på hand utan beroende av utfallet av närmast föregående tävlingsrond. Endast i mångkamp och på sträckor från 10000m och uppåt är det ”final direkt”.
