5.000m indoor men
Perseus Karlstrom just in time to return from Muscat in Oman where he brilliantly won the 35km men in 2.36: 14 and here he is ready to compete in the Indoor Championships and to further embellish his collection of victories, with a mark of world depth: 18:48.94 which currently represents the third world performance of the 2021-2022 season after 18:28.3h by Vasiliy Mizinov (RUS) obtained in Chelyabinsk on 28.12.2021 and 18:39:01 by Veli-Matti Partanen (FIN) obtained in Helsinki (FIN) on 5.2.2022.
For the occasion, the most difficult opponent to beat was Nick Christie (USA) who competed in the Championships obviously out of the standings, but who finished his race with the personal best over distance in 19: 53.47.
The silver of the Swedish Championships went to Anatole All Ibanez (SWE) in 21:00.0h while the bronze went to Remo Karlstrom (SWE) in 23:38.48.
In short, a trio of brothers on the podium is not an everyday thing: the total time of the trio was 1:03.27.42 with which Eskilstuda Fl won the team classification
