Pitkamaki 86.98. He could have used this form a week ago.

I love how Pitkamaki throws himself into it, Al Cantello-like, and lands belly-down on the ground. I don't understand why everyone doesn't throw that way!!

Vesely JUST DID, on his last throw. Didn't do him much good.

That 86.98m is his best throw in Sweden; his previous best was 86.90m set in Göteborg in 2005.

I'm watching the meet on Swiss TV and they said Pitkämäki has been working with Zelezny recently. When did they come together?

Wasn't aware of that, but found the IAAF link:
http://www.iaaf.org/news/newsid=62502.html. Youtube has a couple of training videos.

On the other hand, his first three throws in Stockholm were below 80m. With this performance, he would not have been in the last three rounds in the Olympics.

Off and on since the beginning of the year. Could Thorkildsen be next? :?
