For middle distance talent Mattias Claesson DN Galan is important. He represents Hässelby SK, one of the organizing clubs.- It is the most important outdoor meeting with the best atmosphere on the international athletics tour.
The fact that DN Galan is a member of the Samsung Diamond League is something that Mattias appreciates.
- It is fantastic that DN Galan is a part of the highest level of meetings. This means more Swedish athletes can now compete against other world class competitors. It is at this level DN Galan belongs.
Stockholm Stadium and this middle distance talent are like a great marriage.
- I have a special relationship with the stadium. It was at this arena I accomplished a new Swedish junior record in 2004. I always perform well at DN Galan. At Stockholm Stadium I also competed in my first athletics meeting, the Swedish School Championships in 2002.
