Sprinter Julia Henriksson is ready for the semifinals on 100 meters at the EM in Rome.

Julia Henriksson finished third in her qualifying heat with a time of 11.31, and ranked ninth overall. The 14 fastest times qualified for the semifinals.

The 23-year-old says there's more to take from Sunday evening's semifinal and potential final.

Debutant at EM has had a big breakthrough this year and now has a personal record of 11.19, just three hundredths of a second from Linda Haglund's 44-year-old Swedish record. Henriksson has also run 10.95 – at the NM in Malmö – but then in very strong wind.

The fact that there wasn't much audience on Saturday morning wasn't something she paid any attention to.
