– Before, I thought that now I just let everything, it goes into a cage or not, but I didn’t wait for the 77 meters of throw. I thought maybe some 76 meters would be possible, Kosonen says.
– I don’t really remember throwing it, other than it didn’t feel bad. There is always something to repair in the throw, but that was pretty close to my perfect throw right now.
