Wilma Murto finished second in the women’s pole vault competition in the Diamond League of Athletics in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Murro’s result remained 477, as he fell three times from the height of the bar 482. The United States jumped to victory Katie Moon, which finally crossed the bar from this height. Moon tried another height of 490, but dropped the bar three times.
Eliza McCartney, who was fighting for the win, dropped three times from a height of 477, so she ended up third. In the end, his score was 471.
Murto started the pole vault competition with a height of 441, but dropped the bar on the first. However, the Finn finally managed to cross the height on his second attempt.
Murto was able to clear the next height with a 451 on his first, suggesting that the first fall was just a work-related accident. Murto also dropped from 461 with his first attempt, but the second attempt went over the bar. On C More’s TV broadcast, you saw how Murto sighed with relief after the crossing.
Murto continued his race from a height of 471, but dropped his bar on the first attempt. However, the Finn went over the bar with his second jump.
Height 477 was finally a piece of paper in Murro’s handling, because there was still air in front of the bar during the crossing. However, the height of 482 was too high this time.
Murro’s Finnish record is 485, which he jumped last summer in the European Championship finals in Munich. Before tonight, he had only jumped higher than 477 twice and only once outside. Last March, he went over a height of 480 in Turkey and won indoor European Championship gold.
The result 477 is Murro’s best this season.
A top run from Lehikoin
Viivi Lehikoinen on the other hand, ran superbly to second place in the women’s 400-meter hurdles race. The Finn ran for a long time, as he stopped the clocks at 54.67. The race was won by Femke Bol with a time of 52.76.
Lehikoinen ran a new Finnish record earlier this summer, when he clocked 54.40 in Spain.
Oliver Helander competed in the men’s javelin throw and finished fourth. He threw 83.50 on his fourth throw.
India’s Neeraj Chopra won the competition with a score of 87.66. Germany’s Julian Weber was second with a result of 87.03 and the Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch third, who threw 86.13 meters the longest.

A stunning performance
The men’s 5,000 meter run saw an incredible performance, when Ethiopia’s Berihu Aregawi ran for a long time 12:40,45. At the same time, Aregawi ran the world’s top time and improved his record by nearly 10 seconds. His old record was 12:50.05.
The value of Aregawi’s performance is increased by the fact that he ran almost four kilometers at the head of the entire group and led the troops. The Ethiopian maintained a fast pace throughout the race.
The men’s shot put competition was won by the United States Ryan Crouser. Crouser easily pushed 22.29 meters with his third, which was enough for first place. Crouser’s record has been pushed to 23.56 this season.
New Zealand Tom Walsh was second with the result. 21.99.
