Walcott opens with gold

Warren, Gittens 9th at NCAA Champs

Keshorn Walcott opened his 2018 campaign with gold at a meet in Aanekoski, Finland, on Thursday. The 2012 Olympic champion produced a 78.58 metres effort to claim the men's javelin title. Walcott took three throws, landing the spear 75.44m, 78.58m and 77.33m. The Trinidad and Tobago throwing star fouled once, and passed on his last two attempts.

Walcott forced Finland's Jami Kinnunen and Toni Liflander to settle for second and third, respectively. Kinnunen threw 75.50m, and Liflander 72.12m.
