The fourth competition day of the World Athletics Championships starts with the women’s marathon. Kristiina Mäkelä’s triple jump final is tense on Tuesday night.
There are four Finnish names competing on the fourth day of the World Athletics Championships. The competition starts like yesterday with a marathon, when the women set off at 4:15 p.m. The women’s marathon will see Finland, which has just recovered from the flu Alisa Vainio.
Tuesday night Salla Sipponen will be able to talk about the next place when the women’s discus throw group A qualification starts at 3.10 am. The score limit for the women’s puck final is a tough 64.00. For Sipposen, who threw more than 60 meters for the first time in his career this season, breaking the limit would require a record improvement of almost three and a half meters.
At four o’clock in the morning, the women’s 200-meter preliminaries get up to speed Anniina Korttemaa. The Finnish runner competes in the second race, which starts at 4:07 a.m. The best three and six runners of each six heats advance to the final race based on time comparison.
We get into the final atmosphere at 4:20, when Kristiina Mäkelä jumps in the women’s triple jump final. Mäkelä made his way to the final with his first jump of the qualification. Mäkelä’s record jump of 14.48 was the fourth best quotation of the qualification. Mäkelä goes to the final to fight for a medal.
– Yes, you can fight for medals there. It’s a triple jump and anything can happen. Of course, you also have to succeed. You certainly won’t get there with any average result. That is my only goal, Mäkelä told Urheilu after qualifying.
The fourth race day will be closed by the running events, when the World Cup medals will be decided in the men’s 3,000 steeplechase and the women’s 1,500 meters early on Tuesday morning Finnish time.
