European indoor 400m silver medallist Henriette Jaeger just missed the European best in the 300m for the second year in succession at the Trond Mohn Games in Bergen, a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver meeting, on Tuesday (3) evening.
One year after winning on this track in 35.46 to come within 0.01 of Irina Privalova’s long-standing mark, Jaeger stopped the clock at the rarely-run distance in 35.55 in very cold conditions - around 10C - in the Fana Stadium for a clear victory over Finland’s Mette Baas in 36.71.
Jaeger, 21, is expected to return to action on the same track next month when Bergen hosts the European Athletics U23 Championships from 17-20 July.
Dutchman Jonas Phijffers, who is also eligible for the European Athletics U23 Championships this year, won the men's 300m in 32.52
In-form Kosonen defeats two world champions in the hammer
Finland’s Silja Kosonen defeated two global champions for victory in the women's hammer.
In cold and drizzly conditions, Kosonen launched the hammer out to 75.52m in the first round to take a significant victory over Canada’s reigning world and Olympic champion Camryn Rogers (73.93m) and 2022 world champion Brooke Andersen from the United States’ (72.91m).
Kosonen’s winning mark of 75.52m was the third longest throw of her career so far with all three of those marks being set in 2025, including her national record of 77.07m for victory at the European Throwing Cup in Nicosia in March.
Bremm upsets Nordas in 3000m sprint finish

Bremm overhauled Nordas in the last 40 metres for victory - 7:44.43 to 7:44.80 - with recent European half marathon silver medallist Awet Kibrab dropping down in distance to finish third in a lifetime best of 7:45.80.
In a tactical 5000m, European 10,000m silver medallist Diane Van Es showed the best turn of pace to take the victory in 15:18.40 ahead of 2021 European indoor 1500m champion Elisa Vanderelst from Belgium who finished second on her debut at the distance in 15:20.80.
Recently crowned European 10,000m Cup winner Jana Van Lent, also from Belgium, was third in 15:24.32.
Other highlights included Italy’s Giada Carmasi streaking to victory in the 100m hurdles in 12.86 ahead of Norway’s former European U18 champion Martine Hjørnevik who set a 13.20 PB and Sweden’s Julia Henrikssen winning the 200m in 23.42 into a 1.9 m/s headwind.
