Last winter, \u00c5skag, who recently moved from Eskilstuna to  <\/p>\n\n<p>Stockholm, came fifth at the indoor World Championships, and outdoors she has done over 14 meters in triple jump and 6.73 in long jump &#8211; her second best result of her career.<\/p>\n\n<p>Now she will face, among others, Malaika Mihambo, Tara Davis-Woodhall, Larissa Iapichino in a star-studded starting field in long jump at the BAUHAUS gala at the Stockholm stadium &#8211; where \u00c5skag has competed many times. Two years ago, she was two centimeters away from Carolina Kl\u00fcft&#8217;s Swedish record in the triple jump at Finnkampen.
