Results arrive from Helsinki IAAF masters events
Ask and you shall receive. Five days after masters competed in exhibition events at the IAAF world meet in Helsinki, I have the results. They came from the Lahden Ahkera club that put on the Lahti qualifying meet. The results cite an M50 world record in the javelin by Finnish great Jorma Markus, but his 70.33 (230-8 or so) is not as good as the listed M50 record on the WMA site of 70.71 by American Michael Brown this past April. Jorma holds several masters records, and has an all-time PR of 92.70 (over 304 feet) in 1969.
Here’s what I was sent:
