Lotta Kemppinen and Reetta Hurske gave strong displays of their condition at the World Championships in the World Championships in Athletics in Paris.
Lotta Kemppinen was second in the last race of the World Hall Tour at 60 meters with a top time of 7.17. It is only a hundredth of the Finnish record he ran last winter.
Reetta Hurske was second in the 60-meter hurdles with a record-breaking time of 7.93. Nooralotta Nezirin SE is only two hundredths better.
Kemppinen was already well on his way in the early 60-meter start, where he got off to a second try. Kemppinen accelerated second by 7.22. Kemppinen found more speed in the finals.
– I was really pleased with how the run in the final felt. I felt it accelerated well to the end and the reaction was good too. There is an even calmer stage between 10 and 30 meters. When I get it right, time is running out, Kemppinen said.
The race was won by 7.06 runners-up from Switzerland Mujinga Kambundji. Kemppinen will compete in the next week and a half in the World Championships in Belgrade.
– This was definitely a good run for the World Cup. Here we have another week and a half to train and make the run run well to the end. During these times, we should reach the semi-finals and even call for the final place, Kemppinen said.
Sprinter Samuli Samuelsson also had to run 60 meters in Paris. However, he gave a positive sample in the corona test in Paris and had to skip the race.
– Fortunately, there are no symptoms, but the test shows that there is a virus in the body, Samuelsson lamented.
Pious: A good general for World Cup halls
Hurske snapped from the starting round to 7.97 and dropped to 7.93 in the final. He lost just a second to a hundredth of a run for the Frenchman Cyrena to Samba-Mayela.
– This was a good general for the World Cup hall. It was good that I was able to run something like that in the first round, although it was not easy to prepare for the race, Hurske referred to the back problems of traveling.
– There was a little bit left to dig around for the winner, but then we will run in the World Championship hall for the time starting at 7.8. While that was a good run, it wasn’t perfect. If I’m not the first on the first fence, the run hasn’t quite gone down the pipe.
Salminen jumped third, even as his ankle spun
Senni Salminen struck third in the women’s triple jump in Paris with a score of 13.93, even though her first attempt ended in an ankle spin.
– The ankle spun around pretty badly at the descent of the ham. It was decided to skip the next jump and weighed for a long time whether it makes sense and whether Senni will be able to continue, Salminen’s coach Matti Mononen said.
– Then we tried and the contact felt just fine. I have to say that Senni is a really tough woman that can jump around well after that.
Mononen thought that the ankle was photographed in Finland for security reasons.
– It would seem that it didn’t go any worse when Senni was able to jump so well. For a long time, however, it was weighed.
After three rounds, Salminen was still without a result. He jumped to his best score of 13.93 in the fourth round. The fifth company carried 13.84 and the sixth was overperformed.
The Portuguese second place finisher at the Tokyo Olympics won the steady race Patricia Mamonawho jumped in the final round to 14.15.
Stick jumper Mikko Paavola was seventh in Paris after crossing 547. Attempts from a height of 557 did not bring an overrun, although the third attempt in particular had enough height in the jump.
– Everything seemed to be ok, but the jump safety is lost and then it goes with the poles and distances to draw, Paavola said.
Paavola has exceeded 565 during the term.
