Vanninen is the talent in the class whose predictions, sharp Nool always finds room for improvement.
In the 60 -meter fences, Vanninen improved his record of 8.25 by six hundred.
– It was a good run. Already the warm -up was good. The first fence could have gone a little better technically.
– I’ve been wondering if he ran from 8.25 to 8.27. When it goes better, it’s mentally good, Nool comments.
Nool knew right away
The second species has often been a watershed for Vanninen’s match. Now, however, the Finn has certainly performed and exceeded the heights of 169, 172, 175 and 178 at the very first. In his record series, he exceeded 179.
Now the next height was 181. Vanninen exceeded his new record in another. The run went well in all jumps in the Finns.
Nool still found a little to repair.
– I thought the minimum would be 178. Maybe he went a little bit of power to try the first exceeding 181. It looks like in the future he can jump higher, Nool purses.
Vanninen once tried at 184 but left his performance. Even before the 184 attempt, Nool, who was following the race in the audience, noticed that not everything was fine.
Nool sighed to his coach with his hands to stop here. Vanninen told SUL that he had a slight knee.
The coach says that the foot was slightly twisted at the end of the Tallinn record match.
-As he prepared for the 184 company, I saw that he put his hand on his knee. I knew there was some feelings. If he had gone to the first one (184), he would have stopped height there. However, I think the situation is ok.
True the athlete laughed
So Vanninen pushed 15.56 in the ball. It’s his third best race score.
Prior to this, he had been able to work 15.08 at the 2022 European Championships at its best at the adult value race level. On the youth side, the best Laaki is 15.36.
Vanninen’s record for the competitor is a fierce 16.02. The Finn is one of the absolute best of the match.
– The warm -up rhythm was a little bad. Similarly, the first push. The second was better and the third was the kind of ball pushing, the cheerful Nool explained to .
Vanninen put his best ball performance at his last. After that, Nool, who was usually on a serious face, smiled and laughed after a successful performance.
Nool was photographed in the audience that laughed Antti Pihlakoski beside you.
Nool, who previously worked as a coach in Estonia, has enjoyed his new situation in Finland.
– People will ask why you have Finnish clothing on. Yes, it was exciting at first. Usually I am used to having Estonian stuff on the hall or stadium. A little different atmosphere is, Nool laughed.
