Melwin Lycke Holm entered 1.95 and achieved the first three heights (1.95, 2.01 and 2.05) directly. At the next two heights 2.09 and 2.12 he succeeded on the third attempt. Despite good attempts at 2.14 it became too difficult. On the last attempt he came close to handling the height.
– Today was a fight, I can tell. I also drove 2.05 with shakes, so it was not much of the truth, Melwin Lycke Holm tells SVT Sport.
Finnkampen was the first for Melwin Lycke Holm.
– It was great and a competition that I grew up with at home. Too bad today went so bad. The point was that I jumped well in the jump with a short effort, but it did not coincide with today’s long effort. But lately I have not been able to train as I wanted, he says.
Finland won – in the last jump
Finland won 12-10 in the high jump after Arttu Mattila got 2.14 in the last jump. Emil Uhlin finished second when he scored 2.12 on the first try, which is a personal best.
– It is clear that it is bitter, but I am still satisfied. When I woke up I didn’t think I was going to achieve 2.12. It was a lot of adrenaline.
After a difficult start, Sweden leads by 207-200 after the first day. On the women’s side, Sweden leads 103–80 while men are behind 104–120.
