Murto celebrated the pole vault World Championship bronze late Wednesday evening at the same hotel. Suomalaistahtih admitted that he only went to sleep in the morning.
– We sat in the cabinet among the team, relatives and friends for a couple of days. The evening went peacefully, Murto said.
– I went to sleep around five o’clock. I noticed it when I answered the messages and replies started coming back from Finland. I thought now would be a good time to close my eyes, he laughed.
Congratulations have been pouring in since last night.
– I have only seen a fraction of them. It takes time to prune and go through them. It’s a staggering wave. It becomes clear how much people follow sports.
Murto won the WC bronze with a score of 480.
