Nora Lindahl Runs Second-Fastest 100m in Finnish History

Finnish-Swedish sprinter Nora Lindahl achieved a new personal best of 11.18 seconds in the 100-meter dash in Greece, a performance that ranks as the second-fastest time ever recorded by a Finnish woman.

Lindahl's impressive run placed her second in the international sprint and relay competition, narrowly behind Ivory Coast's Maboundou Koné, who finished in 11.14 seconds. The only Finnish woman to have run faster is Helinä Marjamaa, who still holds the national record of 11.13 seconds, set in July 1983.

Lindahl, who possesses dual citizenship, previously represented Sweden. However, she is currently in the process of transferring her national allegiance to Finland. Her ultimate goal is to compete for Finland at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Her previous personal best of 11.36 seconds was set earlier in June at the Paavo Nurmi Games.
