Arto Bryggare packaged Friday night’s events in the Diamond League of Florence.
– I’m actually very satisfied with what I did. The result is not satisfactory, he said Wilma Murto CMorella and in the Sports Association’s bulletin after the Diamond League of Florence.
The woman was left with at most an average result of 451.
– It bothers me a bit that Wilma was like an Olympic champion in the interview. It’s not worth sprinkling ashes on at the beginning of June, but when you want to be the best in the world, I don’t think you’ll be satisfied with that kind of result, says Iltalehti’s athletics expert Arto Bryggare.
Of course, it is clear that the main race of the season on the World Championship stage in Budapest is only at the end of August.
– Does he think that a super performance can be found in the morning in Budapest. It has indeed been found in the European Championships outside and in the hall, but I would hope that very incomplete performances would not cause such comments as on Friday.

The competition was Murro’s third of the season on outdoor tracks. In the Doha Diamond League at the beginning of May, it was 430, and in the Turku race on May 21, it was 455.
– Compared to Doha, the difference was like night and day. The pace was increased a bit, it was much better. But spending on the pit was weak. They clearly need to be improved. The routine of hard jumping at full speed is not yet in order, Bryggare estimates.
Friday’s women’s nine race in Italy was won by the USA Katie Moon (471). Slovene Tina Sutej ended up second with the same result but with a worse record. Australian Nina Kennedy was third (461).
– The whole race was flat. Practically all the best in the world were involved. There, Wilma would have won with a modest result.
Italy was behind the Finn with a score of 441 Elisa Molinarolo and a Greek Olympic champion Aikateríni Stefanídi.
Crazy ME
Faith Kipyegon set a new ME time in the 1,500 meters on Friday in Italy. PDO
of Kenya Faith Kipyegon set a new 1,500 meter world record in Florence (3.49.11).
– Incredible performance. That ending was really hard. I’ve never seen such a performance: the way ME was done, that is. We were at a good 3.55 pace, but the ME was done in the last lap with a fierce push, Bryggare analyzed.
Faith Kipyegon, 29, is a two-time Olympic champion and two-time world champion in the ton.
– It is a question of a great athlete who knows that with hard results the bank account swells. There are a lot of champions in Kenya, so 1-2 ME results won’t make you immortal. With Olympic victories, WC cult and ME, Kipyegon is starting to be a Kenyan phenomenon in women’s endurance running.
Came from Switzerland
Swiss hurdler Jason Joseph dazzled in the EC halls in the winter and on Friday in the Diamond League. PDO
Bryggare takes Switzerland to the third point on Friday by Jason Joseph I race in 110 meter fences.
– 13.10 is a tough time in the headwind. With such a run, he will fight for medals at the World Championships.
Joseph, born in October 1998 in Basel, is a fairly recent success name in the surprisingly tough sprint, event and jumping team of the bell country.
– Switzerland’s recipe for success is very simple: good guys, long-term development and high-quality coaching.
Joseph was second in Florence Grant Holloway (13.04) after.
– Joseph is a hot guy. In fast fences you have to be able to control your nerves. He didn’t control his nerves before, until he exploded in Istanbul with the EC gold medal in the 60-meter hurdles. I would be really surprised if he doesn’t go under 13 seconds in super conditions this season and put Holloway in a tight spot at the World Championships.
