The discus throwers are all in the same group tomorrow, the earlier one here at the EC in Barcelona.
The shot putters started out this morning and did not do well. Niklas Arrhenius was though better and had 18.93m in the first throw that was a good opener. Then he could not follow it up in the two remaining throws and fouled both.
Helga Margrét Þorsteinsdóttir from Iceland won the bronze medal at the World Junior Championship in Canada last week in the heptathlon. This is the first medal ever won for my little country in the WJC.
At the same time as we are here in Alfas Del Pi, Spain some of the other members of the GL Group are at home training hard for upcoming meets. Nick Petersen that has been out of competitions since this winter is coming back stronger than ever.
The so called Big Shot DN Galan in Stockholm invited Niklas Arrhenius to compete in their meet yesterday. This is a big honor for Niklas as all of the best shot putters in the world are invited to the meet that will be held downtown Stockholm on 5t August.
Gerd Kanter won his first Diamond League meet yesterday in the Herculis 2010 meet in Monaco. Gerd had 67.81m that is an ok result and a good victory.
