Gerd with a fantastic throw in Kohila

It does not happen every day that people throw over 70m in Discus, but Gerd Kanter threw twice last night over 70m and once over 71m and almost 72m.  

The farthest throw measured 71.64m.
This is Gerd‘s fourth best meet ever after 73.38m in 2006 in Helsingborg, and 72.02m in Salinas 2007 and 71.88m in 2008. This is ofcourse the farthest throw Gerd has thrown in Estonia, 70.12m in Valga in 2007 beeing the best previous mark.

Conditions were good in Kohila but still this is a great achivement and one of the farthest throws in history. This is also the farthest throw anybody has thrown in the world this year.

Outstanding job Gerd.
