Borzakovskiy not in Goteborg - Zelezny in Stockholm |
Zelezny in Stockholm
Javelin legend Jan Zelezny will have his next competition in his last season at famous DN Galan in Stockholm on Tuesday. What a symbolic – the meet is 40 and he is in the meantime also 40. After two meets early in the season (Doha and Ostrava) he - and that is another symbolic story – injured his calf muscle exactly on the day of his 40th birthday. It was not very serious, but because he wants to be totally fit in his last season he underwent treatment, cancelled some meetings and continued to train. „I am feeling again well, this is my last season so I want still show something. This will be my only and last competition before European Championships,“ he said. Because he is now 40 he can also attack the masters world record held by Peter Blank from germany (84.08 in 2003). „But this is not the real aim, that is compete with the best,“ says Zelezny.
Sebrle in Loughborough
Decathlon world record holder Roman Sebrle succesfully a period of training with some very good results in practice. „I very satisfied with my preparation which happened in Nymburk near of Praha. I had some marks which I did not achieved in last three years. I am very tired, but that is a good sign. All is orientated towards the only and most important goal of this season and that is the title defence in Goteborg,“ explained the olympic champion. He will compete as part of his preparation for Europeans at a meeting in Loughborough, England on Wednesday July 26 at 110mHurdles, 200 m and in discus. „After that I want to have two more competitions,“ he is planning.
