Finland returns to the World Cup medals after an eight-year break in Budapest. Wilma Murto has risen to a level where she can do it.Camilla Richardson still breaking Annemari Sandellin The hardest of the SE times, i.e. 5,000 meters, when all women’s smooth endurance running SE times have been done in the 2020s.Samuli Samuelsson is already at a level in contact times that threatens the 10-second ghost limit. It just depends on the step length. Is 10.00 close already this summer? In women Lotta Kemppinen approaching the 11 second mark.Silja Kosonen rises to the moukary elite of Europe and Krista Tervon SE 74.40 is likely to break. If Polish ME woman Anita Wlodarczyk after the operation, at least, he will not immediately return to his former self, even the cape of the number one in Europe can be offered to Kosose.Petra Manner
In 2001, there were four medals in the European Youth Championships, but now in Espoo in July there are up to five medals. One of these will be taken by 7-player Saga Vanninen, who will set a new Finnish record this season. Is it closer to 6,500 or 6,600 points?A Finnish athlete will appear in the World Championship finals of hurdles in Budapest. If it doesn’t require the same 12.50-start level as Eugene’s at the World Championships, he can be Reetta Hurske. But Viivi Lehikoinen might be a slightly safer bet at 400m.Top Raitanen drops his base level to those of 8.14 and will probably drag the SE time below 8.10 in the Diamond League competition. Even a 1,500 meter SE is not impossible in a ridden run.The new Finnish record can be seen in all sport groups. On the durability side, it was already done. Kosonen is responsible for throws, Murto or for jumps Kristiina Mäkelä, Vanninen in matches, Samuelsson in smooth fast distances and Hurske or Lehikoinen or both in fences. Lehikoinen improved the Finnish record on Tuesday evening in only his second race of the season in Huelva, Spain. The people in this article have been interviewed before Lehikoinen’s record run.Mikaela Ingberg
In the men’s javelin, we get a new 90-meter thrower. by Oliver Helander the performances have looked like it’s time for a leap in training. The practice throws have also looked really good. Now it all depends on whether the technology holds up in the competitions.The women’s javelin throw hasn’t been too much to cheer about in recent years, but now the situation looks better. At least one new thrower will join the 60-meter club this season. There are already 16 people crossing the border.Finnish records have already been broken on endurance trips this year, but it doesn’t stop there. In addition to the ones already seen, no less than five new SE results are obtained.Jaakko Ojaniemi
Budapest will bring a medal to Finland, and the realistic bringer will be Wilma Murto or Oliver Helander. Helander’s reliability is just such a big question mark compared to Murto. Now the training season gives Oliver snacks. Lassi Etelätalo also throws close to medal level in Budapest, when some of the main foreign opponents have health problems. There will be six points winners from the World Championships.A place in the World Hurdles World Cup final is confusingly realistic for a Finnish athlete, and it would even be the hardest thing of the entire athletics summer.It’s also hard that Camilla Richardsson is the first Finnish woman to run 5,000 meters in less than 15 minutes.Men’s pole vaulting has not been talked about much in Finland in recent years, but now there will be a reason for it. Three men exceed 570, and Mikko Paavola as many as 580.Tuomas Raja
Multi-matches will be one of the hot names of the season. Saga Vanninen already competed brilliantly in Götzis and will take the youth EC gold in Espoo. Finland’s record will be created without anything else, and a good ranking is promised at the World Championships in Budapest.Alisa Vainio already ran the marathon Finnish record. He will certainly not improve his time at the World Championships. But he is at the level that, if he wants, he can participate in the hardest marathons in the fall in Chicago or Berlin. A new, really tough SE era can be seen there.Since 1999, only two World Cup medals have come from sports other than the men’s javelin. Even now, a medal can come from the men’s javelin just fine, but above all, the women’s streak of 28 years without a World Cup medal is coming to an end thanks to Wilma Murro.In women’s hurdles, the current SE level, with a few exceptions, has been the final level in value competitions. A wild leap forward was taken in Eugene. If a 12.6 start is required for the final in Budapest, it may be too much for Reetta Hurskee. I believe his post season SE time is 12.66. Similarly, Viivi Lehikoinen hardly needs to be super successful to reach the final in Budapest.yl-01
