Tero Pitkamäki opens up his season!

Pitkämäki won a high class meeting "Sydney Track Classic" with a throw of 84.64m!


“I’ve never competed ever at this time of the year. Usually I throw indoors against a wall. It’s pretty boring,” Pitkämäki admitted.

“My goal is to throw over 86m at the Melbourne Track Classic on Thursday!"

While Pitkamäki had fun in javelin sector Australians Valerie Vili renewed his world leading mark to 20.57!

“I’m pretty happy. It’s my second throw for the season. There is nobody to chase here but you want to put on a good show for the crowd so I’m pretty happy,” Vili said.

Probably the tension will rise when Vili goes to Doha, to Nadzeya Ostapchuk, the Belorussian who leads the world with the mark of 21.70m.

Vili has confirmed his participation!
