The pictures above show Linus during the final of the men's High Jump
at the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg. Despite setting
a new PB and clearing the same height (2.34m) as both Tomas Janku
and compatriot Stefan Holm, Thornblad disappointingly missed out
on a medal on the countback rule. Photos George Herringshaw ©
