Of course I want to hold the world record, I want to break it myself a couple of times but it is going to be tough because the time that I ran in Tokyo is really good, but I think I can really do better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to say thanks to all the people coming out there tonight because it has been a really rainy day. It is awesome that the people are coming out there and that was also the reason I wanted to put in a good performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it is going to now be about continuing to stay injury free, to be able to train well and post these good times. I am looking forward to all the races and hopefully to defend my title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong>800m win for Sedjati<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>World silver medalist, Djamel Sedjati was the winner of the 800m, with the 24-year-old Algerian clocking 1:44.59 after recent third and fourth place finishes in Doha and Paris, respectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s Saul Ordonez &#8211; the 2018 world indoor bronze medalist &#8211; registered a 1:44.67 season\u2019s best for second position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sedjati said afterwards: \u201cToday was a good competition for me but the weather conditions disturbed me a lot. But the most important thing is that I won. Next up is Monaco. I am ready for Budapest and my main goal is to win gold at the World Championships.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/bblive.bildbyran.se\/embed\/6246_Skpojaanu?bblive=nodebug\" type=\"application\/javascript\"><\/script><!-- bblive widget end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympic and world champion, Karsten Warholm pleased the crowds again with an emphatic 400m...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-1708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stockholm"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1708"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=1708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
