Furthermore, 19-year-old Edvin Sidwall captured attention by lowering his personal best in the men's 100 meters, finishing fourth in a race that included renowned sprinter Usain Bolt participating as a former champion. The impressive performance left Sidwall thrilled, as he remarked, "It is a completely insane feeling to run against others who have run under ten seconds."
Daniel Ståhl continued his tradition of excellence in discus, achieving a season-best throw of 69.53 meters, timing just behind Slovenia's Kristian Ceh, who marked 69.73 meters. "When the adrenaline is so high in the whole body, it is just to go for it," Ståhl noted, reflecting on the competitive edge of the event.
