Wins for Pozzi, Sawyers and Courtney-Bryant in Finland

There were 15 British athletes in the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku Finland on Tuesday this week (11 August). Jazmin Sawyers won the women’s long jump with leaps of 6.54 and 6.53 to defeat Abi Irozuru (6.52).

Abi Irozuru commented: “Two of my jumps in the series felt good so I know if I can start from this point in my next meet, I can jump further. Slightly disappointed to be beaten to be honest, but we’ll pick myself up and work to be better next time.”

The organizers had clearly received the memo and made sure that the long jump (and the men’s javelin) were finished before the TV coverage started!

Since you asked Johannes Vetter won with 91.49 from fellow-German Andreas Hofmann.
