news talks to the 26-year-old a short hour after the accident during an athletics vote in Sweden on Sunday night. He is both happy to have run 100 meters at 10.29, something that is one hundredth faster than his previous record, and a little given up on what he himself describes as “terribly clumsy”. – I tried desperately to stay on my feet, he says, almost laughing. The record was seen in a very special way. When Meinseth had to lean forward and push his chest over the finish line, he could not hold back the rest of his body. Thus he walked straight to the ground, and both his arm and back were thoroughly scraped up. – It was worth it, because it was pers, but it really hurt to shower after the race, he says. VIDEO WITH LEAVES: @ evenmeinseth / Twitter. Struggled with “Warholm injury” Meinseth had the start of the season ruined by a stretch in his hamstring in April – the same type of injury that makes Karsten Warholm now fight to reach the World Cup. The stretch meant that the sprinter could not ask in a short month, something he was marked by last week’s Trond Mohn Games in his hometown. Then he ran in to the time 11.21. – Until I was injured, I felt that I had something very good going on, but now I am still a short distance away from holding completely for 100 meters, the 26-year-old explains.

Maybe even faster too, says Norway’s fastest man. The sprinter is one of several who hope to qualify Norway for the relay team in the 4×100 meters in the European Championships this summer, together with, among others, Salum Kashafali. The EC requirement of 100 meters individually is 10.16 seconds. Ready for Bislett Now he hopes that the injury from April will soon be a done deal, and that the fresh wounds will not present a problem in the future. – I was worried right away, because the body was full of adrenaline, and then it is impossible to know how one actually feels. But I hope and believe that this will not bother me, and that I am ready by Thursday. Then the self-assured Bislett Games is on the program. Meinseth will run during the national exercises. Later in the evening, he has to give way to the stars who will measure the forces in the Diamond League competitions.
