Jakub VADLEJCH - Czech Republic - Silver medal in javelin at 2017 World Championships.

After his opening throw of 77.10m (9th place !) Jakub unleashed a life time best

of 89.73m with his second attempt. Alas, for him, Johannes Vetter reached 89.89m

with his first and then 89.78 with his second, so the Gold medal was destined to be

just out of reach.  In therfifth round Jakub threw 87.70m.
