– It was not to order. It was annoyingly close, a little bitter. If they had told me how close I was with 300 meters to go, I think I would have made it, but there will be more races. I would have loved to take him home, says Hassan, who thought he was too defensive during the final laps.
– I would have liked to break a Swedish record in Sweden, thinks Ullevilöparen Hassan for SVT Sport.
The Swedish junior record was broken by 27 seconds
It was a career-high 13 seconds for Hassan, 22, who had good traction from Matthew Ramsden, who finished second at 13.16.63. World runner Stewart McSweyn (3.31.48 in the 1500m at the Bauhaus Gala) ran on light legs at the finish on 09.13.83 after leaving the field behind. It was a great final where the last 2000 meters went to 5.02 for the Australian.
In the shadows, 19-year-old Emil Millán De La Oliva made a giant run and broke his junior Swedish record by 27 seconds at 13.29.59. Only Kenyans and one Japanese have run faster than the youngsters in the distance this year. Oliva is eight years old on the Swedish senior list, which Anders Gnaderud tops with 13.17.59.
