Melwin Lycke Holm’s Finnkamp debut could have ended happier.
Four after taking 2.12 on the last try.
– Yes, today was a fight, I can tell. I also took 2.05 with shaking and there wasn’t much that was true today, he tells Svt.
He had to fight in the cold in a height competition where he was third on paper with his personal record of 2.17.
When the bar went up to 2.09, he took the last try and at 2.12 it was the same.
But at 2.14 he made no further progress, although he was close, close on the last attempt even there.
But it was also a height at which everyone else took off, except for the victorious Finn Arttu Mattila, who took last.

“But it was still good to get 2.12, although I expected more. He was very good in the jump,” says Melwin.
“Use on the body”
Melwin is one of two fifteen-year-olds on the Swedish team and naturally he was impressed by the surroundings.
– Yes, it is an honor to be part of a competition that I grew up with at home. But I have not been able to train as I wanted in recent weeks and I was in three disciplines in the youth championships recently. She tore the body apart.
Melwin is one of the youngest rookies ever at Finnkampen, but Alice Magnell Millán, who runs 800 meters on Sunday, is even younger.
But they are not the youngest.
There has been speculation as to who is the youngest Finnkamp rookie of all time.
The correct answer is Katarina Wikander, who was 15 years 19 days old when she debuted in 1982. The next youngest is Lisa Skoglund, 15 years and 29 days old in Finnkampen 1977 and third on the list is Linda Haglund, who was fifteen years old. and 71 days when it was in 1971..
All according to former union statesman Owe Fröberg.
Melwin ranks fifth on that list.
