SPOTAKOVA WANTED MORE IN JAVELIN

TALENCE (FRA): Javelin double olympic winner and world record holder Barbora Spotakova fulfilled both goals at Decastar Combined Events meeting with personal best in heptathlon 5880 points and best ever javelin result in heptathlon 60.90. „I started with a collision at 8th hurdle, in training Im doing hurdles only until the 6th hurdle. High jump made my mood, I was satisfied with 176 and did not want to continue to risk. On the other side I was disappointed with the shot put, I fouled my second attempt which was over 14 meters. In the 200 m I used my experience from training with my dog and won my race in 25.50. Second day started with long jump, an event I was not doing for ten years. So I was happy to arrive healthy for my top event javelin. Then it was only about ending the heptathlon and the spectators really supported me. I was satisfied with the score, but must admit I expected more in javelin. Now finally the holidays will come,” she said for Czech media. Spotakova had 14 javelin competitions (including qualification in London and Talence) and in every competition went over 60 with the worst in Talence and second worst 64.19 at Aviva GP in London. She lost four events (Doha, New York, London, Berlin) and is also clear All-Athletics.com world rankings leader in javelin.
