	Stefan Holm Information
		Stefan Christian Holm (born May 25, 1976 in Forshaga, Sweden) is an athlete competing in high jump.
		Stefan Holm's big breakthrough on to the world athletics scene came in 2000, when he finished 4th at the Sydney Olympics with a leap of 2.32m.
		For many of his childhood years, Stefan played soccer (following in the footsteps of his father, who was at that time a goalkeeper in ÖDIK in the fourth division), but it wasn't until 1991 when Stefan realized that he had more potential as a high jumper than a footballer.

		The high jump will most likely be won at a relatively low height, given that the highest performance this year by any competitor is Stefan Holm’s 2.33, which he has accomplished twice.
		The 19-year-old opened his international season relatively late in July, but was impressive in a five-day period, three times leaping over his pre-2002 PB and winning the Stockholm competition (against Holm) with his current career best of 2.32.
		Holm’s countryman and longtime rival Staffan Strand—with a pair of 2.30 performances this season-- is currently nursing a painful ankle condition and might not be in top form in Munich.
