Jakub Vadlejch beat PNG with a world-leading time of 89.51, but had to stop the race.
Jakub Vadlejch got the world’s top score of 89.51 in the second throwing round on Tuesday in PNG in Turku. Shortly after this, the man disappeared from the pictures.
– I almost hurt my supporting leg ankle. That’s why I didn’t want to throw anymore, commented Vadlejch.
The Czech Republic still raced with 82.26 in the third round, until the fourth throwing round became a cross on the record and then lines.
– The start of the competition was good when I went 86.67. In the second round, the ankle of my supporting leg slipped, the man said.
– As I said, it almost hurt. But it shouldn’t be anything serious and I believe I will compete on Saturday in Kuortane, he continued.
The previous top result of the season was India’s By Neeraj Chopra 88.67 from the Doha Diamond League from the beginning of May.
A lot to rock

Last year in Turku, the Czech failed in Turku and fell short of his lowest competition score of the season, 83.91.
– Much better than last year. Winning is always okay.
The top result in the world was warm, but…
– It was only a 70 percent performance. It was bad technique. Will clearly go further this season when everything falls into place.
The man’s record is 90.88 from Doha last season.
Although the performance and the ankle challenge left a dent in my teeth, I enjoyed the Paavo Nurmi Games as an event.
– Amazing atmosphere. One of the best in the world.
On Tuesday, he gave the Czech Republic the toughest resistance Oliver Helander (87.32). European champion Julian Weber was third (85.82).
– This is the stadium of happiness for Oliver. He has a lot of potential. He is a good and kind boy, Vadlejch said.
Helander broke his record of 89.93 last summer in Turku. Tuesday’s result was the third best of the Finn’s career.
