I assumed no Pitkämäki because he'd be the star in Helsinki tomorrow night. But do my eyes deceive me or is there no mJT on the program? That's incomprehensible!

That also puts Greer into the land of the missing. Hopefully he's just picking and choosing his competitions carefully with his new shoulder.

Zelezny's result is a new world age-40 best.

[gh]

ah.... so age-graded he actually beat Thorkildsen?

[TrackCEO]

Yah, old-man Jan chucked that ol' spear mighty far, all right.

My blog report:
http://masterstrack.com/blog/archives/000919.html

The Age-Graded Tables say a performance of 85.08 corresponds to an Open (ages 20-30) equivalent of 95.996.

Let's call it 96.00 -- 314-11.
