“Wennerholm: Now step, she in the top tier”
“Angelica Bengtsson jumps right into the absolute top in the world with its really hope at 4.81.”
“Now we’re talking not just medals on the inside-EM.”
“Now she can be on the podium even in the world CUP and the OLYMPICS.”
“Swedish pole vaulting has suddenly become a world leader this winter.”
“I call it the Duplantis-effect.”
“Armand ”Mondo” Duplantis was one of the friidrottshistoriens biggest breakthrough last summer, when he jumped home the european CHAMPIONSHIP in Berlin, and broke all their previous records. Again and again and again.”
“this winter the 19-year-old already managed to jump 5.92 and is second in the world.”
“But he is no longer the sole american on the världsbästalistorna.”
“Melker Svärd Jacobsson has jumped higher than ever in the winter (5.82) and is sixth in the world indoors – a foot behind Duplantis.”
“Success breeds success”
“And on the women’s side, Angelica Bengtsson is now third in the world, Michaela Meijer is sixth with their 4.75, a record that only stood for two weeks.”
“It feels like Duplantis gone with all the other after his bragdsommar.”
“Success breeds success.”
“even if angelica’s superhopp was not a major surprise for the coach, Peter Widén, so it was a bang for me.”
“I have followed Angelica in all the years, seen how she fought against injuries and adversity.”
“And how she has stood and stamped in the same place.”
“Her previous personal record indoors was 4.70 and placed the end of 2015 – four years ago.”
“Her utomhusrekord at 4.73 is fresher and com on the GP-galan in Karlstad in the summer.”
“But in this summer’s european CHAMPIONSHIPS, it was 4.65 and a sixth place.”
“Angelica has been in both the world CUP and european CHAMPIONSHIP finals, took an EM-bronze-outdoor (2016) and two indoor (2015 and 2017).”
“And she was the world CHAMPIONSHIPS-four in Beijing in 2015.”
“Her loss has still been enough by far.”
“But with 4.81 walk her straight into the top tier.”
“goes a long way in all championships”
“One among the girls who can fight for the medals in the world CHAMPIONSHIPS in Doha in the autumn and in the OLYMPIC games in Tokyo next summer.”
“It is a result which goes a long way in all the championships.”
“There is no superior to the one that switzerland’s roger federer anymore, even if the Ansjelika sidorova, translator is on the way up.”
“But sidorova, translator has jumped to 4.91 in the winter and was the only one that struck Angelica in the French Clermint-Ferrand on Sunday.”
“But I listen on the coach, Peter Widén, so is Angelica on the way to the heights.”
“Angelica has always been a super talent and slaughtered the world records as a junior.”
“She jumped 4.63 indoors in the Globe in 2011, already as a 17-year-old.”
“But as a senior, it has been heavier.”
“Small increments at a time, several unsuccessful seasons.”
“She has changed coaches in virtually every season, before she finally found the home of Peter Widén, Växjö, itself the world CUP final in Tokyo in 1991.”
“the Same Tokyo, where the OLYMPICS will be determined next summer.”
“this time he aims for the gold, but in a completely different role.”
“Then I’ll not forget Wictor Petersson a day like this.”
“The 20-year-old kultalangen that got on a jättestöt at the junior national CHAMPIONSHIPS in Växjö.”
“the Ball landed at 20.65 and only two swedes have ever encountered.”
“It’s going well for the Swedish track and field right now.”
