The Olympic Games debut only consisted of three jumps in the triple jump qualifying round at Stade de France. Maja Åskag reached a best of 13.79 meters and has finished competing in Paris.
It was a debut, but I'm not satisfied, of course, she says.
I'm not getting it 100 percent, so there's a lot of frustration.
Since she has been eliminated, the 21-year-old must also leave her room in the Olympic Village, which she shares with sprinter Julia Henriksson, within 48 hours at the latest.
But she will return to the French capital.
I missed the opening ceremony and thought: will I experience more Olympic Games? I feel that you shouldn't take anything for granted. It would be amazing to be part of the closing ceremony with the rest of the gang, she says.
The Olympic Games only happen every four years, and I'll try to get the full Olympic experience.
Åskag has not yet booked her ticket and is getting help with accommodation from the Swedish Olympic Committee.
Even Olympic debutant Caisa-Marie Lindfors missed the final.
It was a tricky start. But after 59 meters, even though you always want to throw further, you can walk tall from here, says the discus thrower, who more precisely reached 59.29 meters.
The 23-year-old has decided on a similar plan to Maja Åskag.
She is not traveling home to Uppsala but is taking a train to her uncle in Brussels and can easily get back to the Olympic city from there.
Yes, I'm coming back to watch the track and field athletes.
Will you be at the closing ceremony too?
Hopefully.
