Krista Tervo has thrown a hammer throw at the new Finnish record of 74.40 in Leiria, Portugal. Silja Kososen in the name of an old record improved by almost a meter.
– I had a secret wish that the sledgehammer could fly that far. There was a little disbelief, but that is where it came from in the last throw of the race, when I got under many good throws, Tervo comments on the Finnish Sports Association in the bulletin (you switch to another service).
– In all the competitive throws, a certain kind of relaxation was maintained and the technology remained piled up through the throw. When I was still on a warm day, I really got a lot of power out of it.
Tervo was already expecting tough results from the European Cup of Throws last weekend.
– In training, the throws have gone really well. Maybe those expectations led to the failure of that race, Tervo said.
Tervo improved his own record by almost one and a half meters. The Finn has now broken the result limits for the summer Eugene World Championships and the Munich European Championships.
Tervo says in a press release that it has recently started using resin.
– It’s a really big deal. I have got a better grip on the instrument, and the hammer has remained in his thoughts more relaxed, Tervo rejoiced.
The Finns took a triple victory in the Leiria competition, as Silja Kosonen was second with a result of 69.26 and Kiira Väänänen third with a score of 66.30. Väänänen threw his own record.
