Simon Hector

And I think this is also a fair way to do it.

About selection, we have a bonus episode with Simon Hector pre-Swedish champs this weekend.

He is also challenged about all this pre-selection in Sweden.

He is telling that if those guys and girls will go into the team anyway, It's nice to know.

The same goes for Quentin Mollet.

And we see that Oskar Hagström is winning one heat just before Jerka Lysell.

And then Simon Hector is winning one heat.

half a minute before Victor's Svansk.

The upcoming

weekend there are some really interesting national champs and in Sweden they have the long distance champs and it's nice to have the last year's winner Simon Hector on the line.

How are you doing Simon, just a couple of days before this year's champs?

It's a big honour to be invited.

So maybe also with a good race, I can be further down.

I hope to be around those positions and it would be really really cool to get selected for my first international championship I've been reserved two times at the world championships both in 2021 and 2023 but I was never selected to run and then of various reasons and also partly due to selections that I haven't fully agreed with I missed also uh european champs in in 22 and 24 so uh yeah it would be really really cool to to finally get a chance i i hope that it's my my turn this time but yeah let's see just try to make a good race this weekend and see what it leads to

there are some uh entering interested that uh are telling with it with a smile on their face that uh Håkan Karlsson, the first thing you do is to put Simon Hector on first reserve.

So you need to prove that wrong.

More than 40 seconds down.

And then you have Olle Oianau, Santri Silvenoinen, Aro Aho, Axel Ruhola, Simon Hector, number 8, Toco Seppan, 9, and then Apo Virkejervi, number 10, which is also a great result.

He's still a junior as well.

So, yeah, we see some good juniors really performing well this week.

did only the top three so we can move on yeah because it's an interesting result list here in this class a lot of guys are running quite fast and i think it's like eight or nine guys with a faster time than the the winning time of men one and of course you cannot compare it directly but it's Ulis Ultis, number four, one and a half minute down.

That's a very impressive race from the Latvian.

Simon Hector, five, Timo Sild, number six, showing that he's, Gustav Erman is not the only veteran that is running at a high level.

Axel Urola, the best of the Finns in seventh place.

Uh, a bit of a surprise there, especially like if you hear the rest of the names, it's quite, uh, familiar names.

Uh, Simon Hector won one heat.

Viktor Svensk, uh, Oskar Hagström, Erik Hernö, Odinn Ek, and then Filip Karlsson.

And on the women's side it was also quite, uh, yeah, normal names in the top.
