The domestic athletics season starts on Wednesday evening in Lahti.
A number of domestic athletes has registered for the first race of the Motonet GP series. For example, in March, the Multi-Golder winner of the World Championships in March Saga Vanninen.
Vanninen competes on Wednesday in two sports, 200 meters and lengths.
– At 200 meters, I aim for a record and 630 results in length, Vanninen says of the evening’s goals in an interview with Yle.
Vanninen’s current record of 200 meters is 24.30, which he clocked two years ago in Kuortane. At his best, he has struggled to 643.
Sleds on the spot
On Wednesday, the Finnish record woman will enter the sledgehammer Silja Kosonen and a racing buddy Krista Tervo.
Arto Bryggare, an athletics expert at Iltalehti, regrets the rainy condition. Heavy rainfall has been promised in Lahti, which makes the sledgey into slippery and thus challenging.
– Silja is 78 meters good. When the circumstances are in order, he is capable of a new Finnish record, Bryggare says.
The Finnish record, cast by 22-year-old Kosonen in March, is recorded at 77.07.
It remains to be seen how far the sledgehammer flies in rainy conditions on Wednesday.
Crown of the evening: Women’s Quick fences
The evening will culminate in the women’s 100m fence. The line will see pins in less than 13 seconds this season Nooralotta Neziri and Vilma Mäki.
It is to be expected that the cool weather also taxes on the fast-paced. The domestic top result of the season is in the name of the hill. A 23-year-old a week ago in Lappeenranta, his own record, 12.88, gave rise to 12.88.
A specialist in the Lahti evening also opens his season Samuel Purolawho has said he suffers from severe allergy symptoms in early summer. Purola at 200 meters challenges the current top of the season, 21.24, holding Samuli Samuelsson.
In addition to the above, the species is complemented by women’s 800 meters, 400 meters fences and 3,000 meters obstacles. In addition to 200 meters, the men are struggling with a smooth track round, 1,500 meters, in the head, triple and spear throwing.
