The Swedish national team for the World Athletics Championships faced a flight drama when their plane, headed to Budapest, was forced to land in Slovakia due to thunderstorms and lightning at the Budapest airport.
The plane finally landed in Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava, 200 km from their intended destination.
Some athletes chose to stay in Bratislava due to the disruption, with middle-distance runner Hanna Hermansson explaining that they needed proper sleep for their events. Despite the setback, the team remains focused on preparing for the Budapest competition.
Bratislava is not 20 miles from Budapest. It is nearly 200 km.
