Amalie Iuel delivered the goods in the semi-finals of the 400 meter hurdles in Munich. The hurdler delivered a personal record with a time of 54.68, and she progressed to the final on time. She finished third in her heat. – It feels very good and very deserved. It’s nice to run several times and run at the highest level, says trainer Leif Olav Alnes to news. It was a cheerful finalist who met news after also setting a personal record. – It’s fun to qualify for the final. It’s been a while, so it’s great fun, says Iuel. – It’s nice to do it when it really matters, she says. Kloster disappointed in her semi-final heat, where she finished third, far short of her personal best. In the end, the time was 55.63, and after the race it was uncertain whether she would progress as she depended on the time. – That’s not what I’m here for. I felt like it wasn’t going to last. I think I opened a bit too hard, says Kloster to news after the race. – It’s no fun, exactly. It is not, she continues. 54.70 was Iuel’s personal record before the championship. It came in the semi-finals of the WC a few weeks ago. However, it is Kloster who still holds the Norwegian record for the exercise, when she took it from Iuel in Switzerland in July. She stands with the time 53.91. Kloster did not take part in the WC in Eugene, although she was qualified. She said at the time that a European Championship is the main goal, which is why she didn’t take the chance to run in Eugene. Elisabeth Slettum was also unable to progress from the semi-finals. However, she will run 200 meters flat later on Thursday.
