The meet had some fine performances, from Renaud Lavillenie’s 5.81m (his brother, Valentin went 5.61m) in the pole vault to Thomas Rohler’s win in the javelin ( 88.26m, with Johannes Vetter, 87.88m, with Keshorn Walcott, 86.48m). Sadik Mikhou ran 7:44.36 for 3000 meters, Darien Garfield’s 13.22, and Pawel Fadjeck’s 82.40m hammer throw are all exceptional marks. On the women’s side, Maria Lasitskane shows her humanity, with a 1.95m, which after her 2.04m, 2.01m, is back to the planet Earth.
Nice to see our king of the vault, Renaud Lavillenie, enjoing time with the local wildlife. Enjoy the results below the picture from Instagram from the Paavo Nurmi Games, in famous Turku, Finland.
