Of the women competing in this millennium Pamela Jelimo (1.54.01 in 2008).

The tracks, and especially the spikes, have evolved significantly in over 42 years, but Jarmo should have flowed in his body with accelerators.

The World Champion of the 2015 spear throwing, Kenyan Julius Yego is still in the game. The 36-year-old rushed to the Tokyo World Cup qualifier for the third longest throw, 85.96 meters.

Yego won the Olympic silver 2016, but since then there has been no value tile at the World Cup or Olympic level. The reason is clear. Yego threw only once in the Rio Olympic Final and injured his leg. That’s where the downhill started.

– I never lost my hope when I was deep. I felt strong, but I couldn’t work out full because of my injury. I knew I was coming back, but I had to be patient. As I hurry, the injury started to bother again.

Of course, Yego has been fine for a long time. Last year, Kenyan was fifth with a score of 87.72 in the Paris Stone Olympic Final last year.

– In spear throwing it all depends on technology. If you lose technology, it’s hard to throw well, Yego said.

– I was in better physical condition when I was younger because I was healthy. I’m still a strong, strong athlete. I believe that just practicing means. Age is not a problem.

One of the wildest performances of the day was seen in the men’s 1,500 meter finals. Reigning world champion Josh Kerr It was still 900 meters in the group, but then everything went wrong. The World Championship Golden began to link like a lightning strike.

Kerr seemed to bounce on one foot, but did not give up. The British fell from the top group, but ran, or rather, nodded his face with his face.

The cause or severity of Kerr’s injury is unknown. According to Canadian Running Magazine Someone hit the star, and as a result, his right foot was expanded. After the race, Kerr was in pain that he couldn’t get up to the interview point.

A performance worthy of the inside.

The men’s 1,500 meters were a lot new anyway. From the medal trio of the previous World Cup, KerrJakob Ingebrigtsen–Narve nordås None of them now reached the medals. Kerr was the only one in the final, even in the finals.
