About Susanna Kallur
Susanna Elisabeth "Sanna" Kallur (Swedish pronunciation: [sɵˈsânːa ˈkǎlːɵr]; born 16 February 1981) is a Swedish former athlete competing mainly in sprint hurdles. She has won several international medals, including the gold medal in the 100 m hurdles at the 2006 European Athletics Championships. Kallur previously held the world indoor record for the 60 metres hurdles for 16 years (2008–2024). == Career == Kallur made a breakthrough by winning the 100 m hurdles at the 2000 World Junior Championships held in Santiago, Chile. She then initially failed to make an impact on senior competition, failing to make the final of two World Championships and then the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, where she improved her personal best to 12.67 seconds. === European champion === In 2005, she won her first senior gold medal at the European Indoor Championships in Madrid. But once again she failed to reach the final of the 2005 World Championships staged in Helsinki. She came third in the 2006 World Indoor Championships held in Moscow. That year Kallur, in her biggest achievement to date, claimed the 100 m hurdles title at the European Championships in front of her home crowd in Gothenburg. She won in a time of 12.59 seconds ahead of Kirsten Bolm and Derval O'Rourke.
