Vanessa Sterckendries has significantly adjusted her own Belgian record in hammer throw in Leverkusen in Germany on Sunday. The 24-year-old Flemish Brabant managed 69m91 and is now very close to the magical 70-meter mark.

On July 8, the pitcher from Herent, who easily bagged the Belgian title last week, had already set the national record to 68m39. She added more than a meter and a half to that in Leverkusen on Sunday. It is the fifth time that Sterckendries has improved the BR since she stole it from Jolien Boumkwo in October 2018, who threw 67m30 in 2016.
