“It was a bit of a surprise, even though I knew the opportunity for that style,” says Vilma hill coaching Mikael Ylöstalo.
23-year-old Mäki ran in Lappeenranta on Wednesday evening in the 100m real time of 12.88. Mäki is a sixth Finnish female quick-to-day run of less than 13 seconds. The result is the domestic top result of this season.
– Of course, the coach always feels good when the athlete gets the out of the body what can be taken out of the body.

Before Wednesday, Mäki’s record was recorded at 13.07, so the record improved by almost two tenths. It is quite a crack in the 100m way.
– The pace and conditions were in order and the run was successful from the start. It made this spike run, coach Ylöstalo sums up.
Mäki ran his new record in the first round of the Lappeenranta Marsk Games. In the finals, Mäki stopped the winner of the bells in 13.03, which is also below his previous record.
Record -break
Compared to other species, it is more common in the instant fences that the personal record may improve in one-time run.
– When something falls into place as it fits, it repeats ten times during the 100 meters. It allows for even great record improvements, Ylöstalo opens.
The Lappeenranta Kimpinen field is also great for hard results.
– It’s a fast field. Mondo is hard because it is quite old. Wednesday was a superolo relationship with athletes who benefit from strong winds, says Iltalehti expert Arto Bryggare.
The next goal for a coach and a young granary is to establish a level of less than 13 seconds.
– We have to get confidence in doing it through repetitions, says Ylöstalo.

In addition to the hill, Ylöstalo is coach Saara Keskitalo.
Keskitalo has also popped a hundred meters for less than 13 seconds.
-Saara and Vilma do 95 % of all workouts together according to the same program. Both have benefited from working together, Ylöstalo says.
Keskitalo ran less than 13 seconds last summer. It has made it possible to get foreign races.
-Now that Vilman’s record is 12, it is easier to get abroad for better races, the coach ponders the start of the summer.
Co -workouts are clearly biting, as training buddies have succeeded in raising their level in recent years.
Ylöstalo says that both of their coaches are very professionally treated by their careers. There have been no miracles, but the performance development has been achieved by repeating the basics.
– Training consists of basic things, ie power, speed, technology and muscle fitness. We do the same things as everyone else.
New generation
In addition to the hill and Keskitalo, the 13 -second ghost border has been below Finns Nooralotta Neziri, Reetta Hurske, Annimari Korte mixed Lotta Harala.
Korte ended his career a year ago, but Neziri, Hurske and Harala are still actively competing and chasing places for the World Championships in Tokyo.

The women mentioned above were born in the early 1990s, while Mäki and Keskitalo represent a generation born in the 2000s.
Keskitalo was born in 2000 and Mäki two years later.
Iltalehti’s expert Arto Bryggare notes that Keskitalo and Mäki represent a new Finnish generation of women’s quick-era.
– Over the last couple of years, both have raised their level. If successful, they can challenge our more experienced shores, Bryggare says, referring to Harala, Hurske and Nezir.
The Finnish Athletics GP Series will start on Wednesday next week, when the fasteners will meet each other on the Lahti evening. According to the early season, it is easy to say that the taking is really hard.
