The column for wind tells of only very weak wind for as long as it lasts, but now both sun and a little rain are gone from the weather forecast. Well, the forecast is cloudy weather, a little wind, but also the risk of rain. So the weather of the last few days with a little sun and a little rain, it won’t be like that, according to Yr. But it will still be a bit gusty with up to 5 second meter wind gusts. According to the updated weather report, the wind will come from the north-west during the race and will be felt mostly as a headwind between 2 and 8 km.
The weather in recent days has changed all the time. Now we will not find out until the end of the race, which is announced on Friday. The chances of almost perfect race weather have increased if Yr reports correctly. After the race there may be some heavy rain showers.

Spirit Athletics, with runners mainly from Stavanger/Sandnes and Jæren, is coming with a squad of 34 to Copenhagen. Many of them come to run fast. “Down to 1.10”, said the most optimistic to questions from Kondis when the vanguard arrived at the hotel in Copenhagen on Friday evening.
Zerei Kbrom Mezngi, who took silver in the 10,000m European Athletics Championships in Munich four weeks ago, was also optimistic when he arrived at five o’clock on Friday afternoon by plane from Stavanger. At the same time, around 20 Africans also came by plane via Stockholm, of which most of the male runners have Persians during this time and the ladies are good for 1.05 to 1.07. However, Zerei quickly disappeared to the hotel room to change for a training search in slightly sour weather in the harbor area by the Nordhavnen in Copenhagen.

With Zerei’s first place in the European statistics in 2021 for 10 km and half marathon, there is reason for optimism ahead of Sunday’s race, but with as many as 13 runners from Ethiopia and Kenya on the start list who have better times than Zerei’s 1.00.07, it will be a big surprise if Zerei should get on the podium. It could still be a Norwegian record for Zerei, even if he doesn’t make it.
Sondre Nordstad Moen holds the Norwegian record with 59.48 in Valencia in 2017. It was also a European record at the time. Zerei is chasing both the Norwegian record and Julian Wanders’ European record of 59.13.
One of the fifteen on the starting number distribution is from Norway
Since there are a total of 1712 from Norway who are registered out of a total of just over 25,000, there should be a good chance of meeting someone Norwegian at the starting number distribution. It is not easy to tell the difference between Norwegian and Danish runners, but some stand out – Bergens and Nordics. Thus it was three boys from Tromsø and four ladies from Bergen that Kondis found in the Sparta hall where the start number distribution took place.
