It was during a discussion in a messy lesson that Holm was teaching a rowdy student, when he tried to sneak out of the classroom.
Something like the Olympic gold medalist, however fixed.
– I managed to catch him and put him in the same place again, Holm explains to SVT.
The principal of the school in question tells Nya Wermlands-Tidningen that a police report was made for assault during the morning.
– I've felt bad since it happened, I should have picked up the principal or another adult and asked for help instead, says Holm to SVT Värmland.
The high jumper admits that he made a mistake and he does not blame the school for the police report.
