European Indoor Championships Veteran 2024 An athlete from GTI - the championship experience

Friday was sledgehammer on the program.
An exercise I hadn't quite gotten around to this season.
A lot of should - should not.
Ended up with shall, and very happy with it afterwards.
Very uneasy in the body.
Many spectators at the back of the castration.
Went into the ring, was like I did not see them.
Was no. 4 after 3 rounds.
Went into the ring and then got up 29.10m which was my best result.
Almost 4m longer than at the NM winter throw.
The result was finally 5.pl in the exercise.

After a year of surgery, Janice Astrid Flaathe is already in decent shape and was the only GTI athlete to take part in this year’s European Indoor Championships.
There will be more participants from the club when the outdoor championships are held in Gothenburg.
Here is her report from the championship.
That’s the end of the European Indoor Championships 2024.
Around 50 Norwegian participants took part.
During the championship, there were a total of around 3,500 participants from 35-95.
Lots of sporting fun.
I myself participated in the throwing exercises.
Started with discus, 23.37 meters in a difficult wind for me as a left-hander was enough for 7th place.
Weight was the next exercise, 7th place with the result 11.81 meters.
Then it was cool, don’t remember much from that exercise, just that I had to focus a lot on my breathing, as someone else’s good smell makes someone bad.
Dizzy and breathless, the exercise is completed.
After 2 bad shots, it became 3.
Better.
10th place with 8.23 m.
New day, new opportunities.
Now it was time to throw the javelin.
Was number 7 after the first 3 rounds.
Fell down to 8.
and then got my longest throw which was 21.41 m and then went up to 6.
place.
Fair enough with a very short run-up, 2 steps.

lap.

The result was finally 5th place in the exercise.
Lots of time in the hall, time to see a bit of the city, social, lots of impressions to digest.
Considering that I hadn’t been able to throw fully for over a year, it was good to get started.
It would be incredibly fun if we could be more from GTI in Gothenburg.
