Jessica Schilder had a really narrow foul last night,but the throw was reinstated after the competiton so she actually finished in second with 20.09.It was apparently the first time since the 1991 world indoors that three women have thrown beyond 20 metres in a single indoor comp.

It has been a good indoor season for us.  Very good performances by Bozhidar Saraboyukov and Plamena Mitkova in the horizontal jumps. Too bad Aleksandra Nacheva in the triple is still injured and had another operation otherwise we could have 3 people doing top results.
