World Ranking 2022 leader, with 46.80 marks obtained on June 30, in Stockholm, Sweden Diamond League stage, Alisson won the second series of qualifying, with 49.41, quietly, without the need for strength. “The first shot is breaking the ice, feeling who you are, talking about entering the competition, you can relax and focus on the next shot. One step at a time, you can’t let it go to your head. I came to win a medal, but to win a medal you have to get to the final.” “He respects every stage by running fast enough to get to what we want,” said the 22-year-old Brazilian.
Norway’s Karsten Warholm, world record holder and Olympic champion, who has yet to complete the race this year, won his series with 49.34. American Ray Benjamin, the silver medalist in Tokyo, won the first series with a score of 49.06. The best time of the day was achieved by Estonian Rasmus Maggi with 48.78.
“It is very good, not just for me, but for getting here and seeing everyone healthy and well to run fast with us. Racing with Warholm and Benjamin is always great, sharing the track with these guys who made history with us at the Tokyo Games is so rewarding.”
Japan-based Mahau Sugimati, from Goias, finished eighth in Series 4, with 52.43 semi-finalists out.

The South American record holder, with a score of 13.17, said, “The aim of the qualifiers was to run hard, get to the semi-finals in spirit, I made a little mistake at the fourth hurdle, but it’s good, I loved racing.” “Before the start, I thought I had already done, from the Tokyo Olympics, through the closed World Cup, season meetings, including those of the Diamond League, and many important races. I thought this was another one of them and I went like that.”
Eduardo de Dios passed fourth in the second filter series, with 13.49 (-0.5). “I loved the start of the race, but I missed the end to get a better mark. I announced in the semi-finals to make my own personal record and try to be in the final.
On the other hand, Gabriel Constantino did not reach the semi-finals. He ended up falling in fifth grade when he stumbled over a barrier. “The barrier is a test with many unexpected events. I came with the series winner boss, but unfortunately it happened and I have to accept that the tournament is over for me. I announce my apologies to my coaches and the armed forces and I want to say that the end is not yet in.”

I chose to stay away a little bit, and he was the leader of the standings in the series and that might be a surreal sign I couldn’t stand it, but I went well over the 2000 metres. Tatian commented: “There is a lot of contact, I got stuck, and I couldn’t get past the obstacles properly.”
