Algerian middle-distance runner Slimane Moula took third place in the 800 meters at the Stockholm meeting, held on Sunday in Sweden as part of the 5th stage of the 2026 Athletics Diamond League, clocking in at 1:43.41.
The race was won by young American Cooper Lutkenhaus with a time of 1:42.70, ahead of Canadian Marco Arop, who finished second in 1:43.11.
Meanwhile, Briton Ben Pattison just missed the podium, finishing fourth with a time of 1:43.70.
This event was marked by the absence of several leading figures in the discipline, notably Kenyan Emanuel Wanyonyi and Algerian Djamel Sedjati, both medalists at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
