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
In the field Danniel Thomas-Dodd won the women’s shot put with 19.00m ahead of Swedish favourite Fanny Roos with 18.46m.<\/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. He won by more than five seconds ahead of Ethiopia\u2019s Mosisa Seyoum in 3:39.54 and France\u2019s Arthur Gervais in 3:39.67 with Andreas Kramer fourth in an indoor lifetime of 3:39.92.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was also a dominating win for Birke Haylom\u2019s in the women\u2019s 1500m. The Ethiopian won by over nine seconds in 4:02.79, another world lead at this early part of the indoor season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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
European 400m hurdles bronze medallist Carl Bengstr\u00f6m also won the 400m flat in 46.45 ahead of Nigeria\u2019s Chidi Okezie in 46.93.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other highlights included Finland\u2019s Mette Baas winning the women\u2019s 400m in 52.57 – the only athlete to break the 53 second-barrier across the three races – and Hungary\u2019s Hanga Klekner winning the pole vault with a 4.52m clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
