by Larry EderThe DN Galan meeting is one of the most prestigious meets in the world. Held in the 1912 Olympic stadium in lovely Stockholm, the history of the meeting place adds even more prestige to the event. Add on that, a knowledgable crowd, a cool, crisp Swedish summer evening, and great athletes, and that adds up to a magical evening.
A keen observer noted tonights meeting was “better than last year”, but lacked the excitement and sophistication of the former meet directer Rajne Soderburg. Soderburg, the long time DN Galan director, will be debuting a new event in Malmo, Sweden in 2014.
Some key performances this evening, with LaShawn Merritt and David Oliver, recent World Champ winners, still in great form. Aleksandr Menkov also won the long jump, having to put it all on the line in his fifth and sixth attmpts
Eunice Sum, on the women’s side, battled Alysia Montano in the 800 meters and Zuzana Hejnova won the 400 meter hurdles, just as she did in Moscow.
Next major meeting is the Zurich Weltklasse, to be held next week, on August 28, 2013.
