Nathalie Blomqvist ran cheerfully in the Swiss Diamond League competition. The men’s middle distances saw some fast shots.
Lassi Etelätalo threw 84.58 in the javelin final of the Paris Olympics a couple of weeks ago, but the experienced javelin man in the Diamond League of Athletics competition in Lausanne, Switzerland fell far short of his Olympic results.
Etelätalo stepped over its first arc, which was well under 70 meters, and then performed two 73-meter jumps, the best of which carried 73.68. He was ninth in the race, i.e. second to last.
In the end, Grenada won the race with 90.61 Anderson Peters before India Neeraj Chopra (89.49) and Germany Julian Weber (87,08).
Blomqvist succeeded
Nathalie Blomqvist was close to the Finnish record for 3,000 meters. The Finn was from Ethiopia Diribe Weltejin sixth in the winning race with a time of 8:32,33. He was only a tenth of a second behind the SE in his own name.
Blomqvist said that the run felt relaxed and he was satisfied that he was able to avoid running in the outer curve.
– I ran in a controlled manner the whole way, and I’m quite satisfied with that. It feels like the whole season has been a dream and I have achieved more than the goals I set, Blomqvist said on the MTV broadcast.
Ella Junnila was 184 in the women’s height race and was 10th.
Peak times on medium distances
Recent Olympic champion, Kenya’s 20-year-old Emmanuel Wanyonyi set the top time in the men’s 800 meters and the second best result of all time in 1.41.11.
At the same time, it has also reached Tismale Wilson Kipketer. Wanyonyi’s countryman David Rudishan the world record is only two tenths of a second faster 1.40.91.
Norway’s running greatness Jakob Ingebritsen got revenge at 1,500 meters. In Paris, Ingebritsen, who led almost the entire distance, was left with no medals in the Olympic finals, when the US Cole Hocker pressed for victory.
In Lausanne, Ingebritsen broke away in the last lap, took the win with a hard time of 3:27.83 and left the runner-up Hocker two seconds behind.
– It’s great to see that many people participated in the race after the Olympics, and didn’t hide after the big games, Ingebritsen told NRK.
Together with Ingebritsen, previously rocked Great Britain Josh Kerr was not in the race.
