Brooke Andersen retained the world hammer title for the USA.

Date:

Brooke Anderson successfully recovered from the absence due to the covid of the former champion, his countryman Deanna Priceand kept for USA the hammer world title with a throw of 78.96 that gave him a margin of more than three meters with respect to second, the Canadian camryn rogers (75.52).

Rogers avoided a double for the host country by sandwiching himself, with a score of 75.52, between two Americans. Janee ’Kassanavoid took the bronze with a shot of 74.86 meters.

The explosion of the “police” took away the great favorite, the Polish Anita Wlodarczyk, who will compete for the fifth world title. The 36-year-old pitcher sustained a muscle injury last month when he caught the thief attempting to steal his vehicle and returned it to law enforcement. He has no material time to make up for the World Cups in Eugene.

The forced absence of the best hammer thrower of all time (4 golds in the world, 3 Olympics) added Eugene to the American DeAnna Price, the defending champion, who was recently infected with covid, so Hayward’s cage Field will provide a new champion.

The United States, despite Price’s absence, promised them happiness along with Kassanavoid and Andersen, the first two in the world rankings, to retain the title, but Canadian Camryn Rogers insisted on holding it back. He was the first to exceed 75 meters (75.52 in the third round), but that mark served as an incentive for Andersen, who led the fourth round with 77.42 and improved further in the fifth (77.56).

Andersen, only tenth at the Tokyo Games, has won five of his six competitions this year and he is the best pitch of the season (79.02, fourth of all time).
