Bronson  I wanted the time to be a stadium record [under 47.98]. but it's still OK. It was nice to run especially because it was Sven's last race. It was somewhat emotional for me because I've been watching him since I was quite young. I'll have one more race location not mentioned] and then I will go home to prepare for Athens. Woody  I felt privileged to be in Sven's last race. It was my first race in Sweden, and I was quite excited with the crowd.
