5. Femke Bol ran another 400m hurdle race, setting an MR, running 52.76 in the cold of Scandinavia.
6. Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.05 meters and made 3 attempts, the last quite good at a new WR of 6.23m in the breezy, kind of cold day that developed in Stockholm.
7. During the 400m hurdles for men, several protesters were able to place themselves on the track, blocking athletes in lanes 6 down to 1.
