Omar El-Ghazaly in Salinas, US
Omar won the competition with his best of 64.18. VIDEOS FROM THE COMPETITION ADDED!
Omar had a good set of throws as he threw 3 attempts over 63 and 1 close to it so it is good for him because the international season hasn´t started yet. It´s way too early for big throws.
