Agree, but not for someone like him. Recently he’s consistently been above 80m. And also, the 73m throw.

Really nice start to day 2 for Warner in Gotzis, producing a new SB in the 110m hurdles of 13.45 (0.01 faster than Tokyo 2020, although still 0.18 off his PB), and 46.41m in discus throw. Warner now leads by 183 points over Ehammer, pretty much insurmountable.
