Discus thrower Philip Milanov realizes his farthest throw in three years in Eeklo

The now 30-year-old Milanov is still not at his old level. His national record has been set at 67m26 for six years now, but he is finally getting close again.

For the European Athletics Championships in Munich in August 65m20 is needed, for the World Championships in Eugene in July 66m00. Milanov can also qualify for the World Cup via the World Rankings.

The Bruggeling is currently 27th, while the top 32 can go to Eugene.
