Briton Romell Glave upstaged world and European indoor 60m champion Jeremiah Azu and world and Olympic 100m silver medallist Kishane Thompson to claim the 60m race at the BAUHAUS-Galan Indoor, a World Athletics Indoor Tour Silver meeting, in Stockholm yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glave, who was the fastest qualifier for the final in a personal best of 6.55, improved that with a 6.51s dash in the final. Azu finished second in 6.54s while Thompson, who was the fastest out of the blocks, settled for third in 6.56.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was Jamaican clean sweep in the women’s 60m with Jonielle Smith winning in 7.12s ahead of twins Tina and Tia Clayton, both of whom were timed at 7.14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double European U20 champion Hakon Moe Berg of Norway made a winning debut in his first race in the senior ranks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 19-year-old took an unopposed victory in 3:34.32, an indoor lifetime best and early season world lead.

2022 European U18 champion Ayla Hallberg Hossain provided one of a handful of Swedish victories, winning the long jump with 6.56m – only two centimetres shy of her lifetime best set last year – ahead of world finalist Esraa Owis from Egypt with 6.49m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
