Piotr Malachowski king of the discus

Pole Piotr Malachowski has won the discus competition at the MEETING AREVA 2015 thanks to a throw of 65.57m.

Bagging the win by 34 centimetres, Piotr Malachowski has won the discus throwing event at the MEETING AREVA. The 32-year old Pole, Olympic No.2 in 2008, pulled off a throw of 65.57m on his eighth attempt. His throw surpassed that of Hungarian Zoltan Kovago (65.23m) and Estonian Gerd Kanter (64.11m, his season’s best). Frenchman Lolassonn Djouhan finished tenth, with a throw of 60.26m. Malachowski opens up his lead at the head of the Diamond League ranking, now five points ahead of his compatriot Robert Urbanek, the latter just fifth this evening (63.48m).
