Norsk rekord av Grønstad – slo Rodal etter 29 år

Vebjørn Rodal hadde den tidligere rekorden på 1.15,29 satt helt tilbake i 1995.

– Det er absolutt veldig gøy å ta en rekord fra en olympisk mester. Det er en god start å ta rekorden hans på 600 i hvert fall, så får vi se om jeg greier å knappe inn på tidene hans på 800 meter også, sier Grønstad til NRK.

Den oppsatte haren i løpet trakk seg like før start, slik at Tjalves Grønstad løp helt solo gjennom alle de 600 meterne i Nord-Italia.

– Jeg trener som oftest de 800-spesifikke øktene mine alene, så jeg er vant til å løpe alene. Men jeg ble litt overrasket over hvor lett det var.

Grønstads spesialitet er 800 meter.
