Track and Field Javelin Throw

One of Tikhon's greatest adversaries last season, Vadim Devyatovskiy (BLR), was breathing down the Champion's neck again, as his on-form throwing made sure it was a tightly contested event. After the second throw both competitors were neck in neck, with Tikhon having a slight advantage but by the end of the fourth throw the eventual winner had already cleared the 79m mark three times, and went on to produce a mammoth distance of 81.18m, his longest throw of the competition. His compatriot had to make do with silver, and a best throw of 78.10m gained in the final round.
