In the early morning of March 6, Beijing time, the 2022 Polish Indoor Athletics Championships were held in Toruń as scheduled, and in the women's 60 meters, Polish women's Svoboda set a new personal PB with a time of 6.99 seconds, breaking the national record, and after 4 years, the women's 60 meters once again opened the 7-second mark.
The tournament was a domestic match against Polish domestic athletes, and for Svoboda it was relatively easy to win. At the beginning of the race, Svoboda took the lead and finally crossed the finish line with a large lead. Facing the camera, she confidently made a "1" gesture, and what was even more surprising was that Svoboda immediately showed a score of 7 seconds when it collided with the line, and after the referee corrected, the final result was confirmed as 6.99 seconds. At present, only 9 female athletes in the world run into 7 seconds, the world record is 6 seconds 92 seconds set by Russian athlete Privalova, Svoboda became the tenth female flyer to run in 7 seconds, only 0.07 seconds away from the world record, which also rewrote the world's best of the year.
Born in 1997, Svoboda performed brilliantly in the 60m event, showing great strength in major competitions and becoming an impressive flower-armed female flyer. At the Silver Label event of the IAAF Indoor Tour in February 2022, Svoboda performed well in both the preliminaries and the finals. Running 7.04 seconds in the preliminaries set a personal best while breaking the national record. In the final, he once again ran an amazingly good result, winning the championship with a time of 7.00 seconds, setting a new personal PB and national record in the preliminary round. Svoboda is such a reassuring athlete, faster and better than one.
Svoboda is considered a very explosive athlete, and perhaps it is this momentum that has allowed her to achieve one good result after another. At the 2022 IAAF Indoor Tour in Toruń, Svoboda's opponent is Olympic triple gold king Thompson. Thompson is clearly a favourite to win the title, and the match has received much attention. The two athletes also lived up to everyone's expectations and brought a wonderful game to the audience. In the final, Svoboda ran 7.03 seconds and Thompson ran 7.04 seconds, just 0.01 seconds! In sprint races, there have been many cases where the difference is only 0.01 seconds, and it is this 0.01 seconds that allows Svoboda to defeat Thompson and win the championship.
From 7 seconds to 6.99 seconds now, Svoboda in 97 years once again set a new personal PB and national record, creating a good start for the world's best of the year. Will she be able to stay in shape and achieve better results? We look forward to it together!
