Subject: t-and-f: Swedish women jumpers smash records


> In the last days, Sweden's women jumpers have been at their best. All
> four national records in the jumps have been broken.
>
> On Saturday, it started with a great record in the LJ. Erica Johansson,
> already with a wind-aided outdoor 7.07 in South Africa, won the big
> indoor meet in Karlsruhe, with 6.79, 1 cm over her previous record. On
> the same day in Malmö, Sweden, Maria Rendin broke the PV record by
> clearing 3.90. In the same meet Camilla Johansson (mostly a long jumper)
> raised her own TJ record to 13.59.
>
> On Wednesday night, the HJ record went. Kajsa Bergquist cleared at a
> national meet in Stockholm 1.96 (a new record by 1 cm) and was very
> close at her attempts at 2.00.
>
> One event for men has also seen new records. Gothenburg's Robert
> Kronberg first ran a 60H NR 7.66 and then on Sunday lowered the mark in
> Erfurt, Germany, to 7.60.

> If you want to follow the progress of Swedish track, go to

> lists all men under 7.30 at 60 m!). The main links are also in English.
