Forty-year-old Špotáková entered the season only on Tuesday, when she entered 58.70 meters at the Kladno throwing meeting. She improved her performance by more than a meter and a half today with her first throw, but then she had no measured attempt. During the first javelin competition in the Diamond League this year, Ogrodníková experienced the worst race of the season. For the first time ever, she did not reach over sixty meters. Her longest attempt in the second series was more than five meters worse than her season high of 62.80.

With an attempt from the third series for the second time this season, Kitagučiová got 63 meters and maintained this year’s invincibility. After four wins on home soil and Tuesday’s triumph at the Kladno Airport, she won even the best category of meetings.

A month before the defense of the world title, the ageless sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce showed off in a hundred. The 35-year-old Jamaican woman clearly won in time 10.67, which equaled her own world maximum this year. The 2008 and London 2012 Olympic winners deprived her successor to the Olympic throne, Elaine Thompson-Herah, of last year’s meeting.

The highlanders’ competition was dominated by a trio of Ukrainians, led by the reigning indoor world champion Jaroslava Mahuchichova, who improved her own world maximum to 201 centimeters. “It’s nice to jump 201 and I’ve had good attempts at 205,” she said. She feels ready for high altitudes, even though it is very difficult for her to train. “I need to stay focused on preparation despite everything that happens at home. It is very difficult for me because I cannot return home until my season ends in September,” said a representative of the occupied country.

The fourth best female steeple in history was shown by the 22-year-old Kenyan native in Bahrain, Winfred Mutile Yavi, who improved her personal record to 8: 56.55 and reached the top of this year’s world tables.

The program also included a triathlon for multi-combatants, of which the decathlon world record holder Kévin Mayer completed only a shot put (15.61) and a distance (738). He did not face the final short hurdles because he considered it too risky. “Instead, I ran 150 meters on the warm-up track at a speed of four hundred to simulate the last discipline of the first day of decathlon. I’m quite happy with the results in the ball and the distance. Three weeks ago I couldn’t sprint and jump, so it’s getting better. I will keep healthy until the World Championships in Eugene, I can be very strong, “said the French multi-combatant, who is plagued by frequent injuries.
