Reetta Hurske cannot train properly.
Reetta Hurske ran on Sunday in Espoo for the bronze medal in the 60-meter fences. Gold went To Lotta Harala and silver Saara to Keskitalo.
Hurske has already suffered from a sciatic hump injury for a long time. The sciatic tubercle is the outermost part of the hip bone that you can feel when you sit on your hands. When standing, the gluteus maximus covers the buttock.
The injury prevents the Finnish record holder in the 60-meter hurdles from training properly.
– The challenge is that I can’t do proper training in everyday life. There haven’t been many trainings now, Hurske said on Sunday.
Hurske opened his reign with a top time of 7.92. On Sunday, he clocked 8.03.
– If you can run like that without much training… It would be nice to be able to train to get some time off. This is like training.

According to a woman from Pyrinnö in Tampere, the injury is also felt when competing.
– As soon as the shin angle starts to open, it tightens. In running, such situations don’t happen terribly.
Hurske has been doing a lot of smooth training because of a hamstring problem. It is possible that the buttock problem could originate from the exercise in question. However, a sciatic nerve injury is on a different leg than a sprained hamstring.
The rowing star is not sure if he wants to go to the World Championships starting on March 20, even though he has broken the result limit.
– The most important thing would be to be able to practice well. That’s the main aim.
Extra fuss

Saara Keskitalo’s day did not go completely smoothly. On Sunday, Keskitalo was on the racks in the first round.
– At the same time, there was commotion and shouting at the shooting range. I was just about to get off the scaffolding, but they started it. I thought we’d run then, he wondered.
Keskitalo already won silver at the 60 meters on Saturday. The race was heavy on Sunday.
– The start was not the best. Maybe it showed that there is a load on the legs. I set out to do my own good run, Keskitalo commented on his silver performance on Sunday.
Finland’s rowing trio is in a tough fight. Hurske ran a tough 7.92 at the very beginning of the hall season. Harala clocked 7.94 and Keskitalo 7.95.
