Andreas took silver at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow
It was a successful race when Andreas Kramer won silver at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow. A real banger after a spectacular finish in the semi-final, he continued his progress in the final with a tactically perfect race that paved the way for the first ever World Championship-medal. It was also Sweden's first ever World Championship-medal in the men's middle distance.
Last weekend, the World Indoor Championships was held in Glasgow. The World Indoor Championships, as a rule, is the global championship for which it is most difficult to qualify for a Swedish track and field athlete. There are tough qualification limits, fewer participants are allowed at the World Indoor Championships than the World Outdoor Championships and there are tough limits to directly qualify for the championship. Hopes for Sweden were not particularly high.
