The Finn scored a domestic top score of 461 in the Paris Diamond League and finished fourth.
Wilma Murto finished fourth in the women’s pole vault on Friday in the Paris Diamond League with a domestic season-high score of 461.
Murto went over 431 with his first, fell once from the height of 446, went over 461 with the first, until the height of 471 was three times too much.
– Let’s go step by step in the right direction. You get hungry every time. I’m looking forward to the next race, Murto said on CMore.
– There are two months until the World Cup, so there is time to file and inch. We will compete hard in June and then we will sled in July towards Budapest. It seems very interesting, he continued.
The Finn took 2,000 US dollars in prize money for his fourth place, i.e. around 1,860 euros.
Australia won Paris Nina Kennedy (477), the other was French Margot Chevrier (471) and the third from the USA Katie Moon (471).
The competition was the Finn’s fourth of the season on outdoor tracks. Previous results have been 430 (Dohan Diamond League), 455 (Turu National) and 451 (Florence Diamond League).
