Keshorn Walcott rediscovered his best form at the FBK Games in Hengelo, Netherlands, yesterday. The 2012 Olympic champion landed the spear a season's best 89.07 metres to capture men's javelin bronze at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet.

Walcott produced the big 89.07 effort in round four, firmly establishing his credentials as a contender for World Athletics Championship gold in Eugene, Oregon, USA, next month. Very satisfied with the throw, Walcott celebrated, clenching both fists when the javelin landed less than one metre short of the 90-metre mark.

Reigning world champion Anderson Peters topped the FBK field with a huge 90.75m throw - a new meet record. Germany's Julian Weber was second at a personal best 89.54.

Walcott held the FBK Games meet record for a short while, thanks to his 85.64m first round throw. That effort earned the Trinidad and Tobago field athlete the lead. He surrendered it to Peters in round two, the Grenadian throwing 88.70. Weber went to the front in round three with his 89.54 effort. Peters regained pole position with his 90.75 fourth round hurl, and held on to the lead till the end.

"It was a wonderful competition," said Walcott, "amazing results. We pushed each other. If the other performs, you need to answer. I am having a really good season so far. We did not expect it, but when the rain stopped, the results came. The crowd really lifted up our results. It was so wonderful, all the cheering."

Walcott's 89.07m throw was the third best of his career, behind his 90.16 national record and an 89.12 effort in Finland, last year. The Toco thrower jumped from ninth to fourth on the 2022 world performance list. Peters is the world leader at 93.07. Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch is second at 90.88, ahead of Weber and Walcott.
