The Paavo Nurmi Games is one of the longest enduring meets in our sport. Nearly 13,000 watched a fine early evening of track and field in historic Turku, Finland. Named in honor of the great Flying Finn, Paavo Nurmi, the meet had some strong performances, World champ Ramil Guiliyev defeated Luxolo Adams, in the 200 meters, who had defeated Guiliyev at the FBK Games on Sunday. Pawel Fedjek, hammer deity, was upset by Wojciech Nowicki, and Sergey Shubenkov wins a second 110m hurdles in three days, in 13.18. On the women’s side, Tori Franklin (14.11m, TJ) and Sandra Perkovic (66.82m) lead the way.
