It was his first major victory at the BAUHAUS-Galan meeting. <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>The Swedish recorder holder took charge at the bell, hotly pursued by the chasing pack. But he maintained a faultless pace, running clear on the finishing straight, ahead Italy\u2019s Federico Riva (3:32.17) and Denmark\u2019s Kristian Uldbjerg Hansen (3:32.60). <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>\u201cI was pleased with that performance against a world class field,\u201d said the 24-year-old Swede. \u201cI felt strong on the last lap and started to pick up without sprinting over the last 300 metres. I beat some top runners, Riva Uldberg. Two fast times in a week is great.   <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>\u201cHowever, running fast times is one thing but winning races is another. I feel my performance was great after my recent national record. That was my third race in nine days so now I will have a period of training before Ostrava in 10 days. Of course, the World Champs is the main focus, but I want to continue running well for the remainder of the season.   <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>The men\u2019s 100m was won by Benjamin Azamati of Ghana in 10.18 (+0.9m\/s) after his most likely rival Gift Leotlela of South Africa was disqualified for a false start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the first of the track action in Stockholm, Samuel Pihlstr\u00f6m thrilled the home supporters,...","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":3269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-3271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stockholm-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3271","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"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/75"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3271"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3278,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3271\/revisions\/3278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3271"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=3271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
