Claudine Vita back in the competition - World Cup goal firmly in view!

Claudine Vita, the talented discus thrower from Neubrandenburg, has reported back after tough months and showed at the evening sports festival in the Jahnstadion that she is back up at the level of her strength. With a width of 62.53 meters, she secured second place, only wafer -thin behind Marike Steinacker, who won the victory at 63.03 meters. "I am more than satisfied with my performance," said Vita after the competition and emphasized the positive development since the initial difficulties of this season. At the beginning of the year, she plagued a persistent infection that was a trouble at the start of the season in Halle/Saale with only 59.88 meters. But now the young athlete, who once became the German U20 champion in the discus throw, seems to come back sharply. Nordkurier reports on this gratifying turning point.

After the difficult start, Vita concentrated entirely on her training and missed competitions until the evening sports festival to prepare for the best possible way. Her five valid attempts were all over the 60-meter mark, which underlines their return to the shape. "My goal is the World Cup in Tokyo in September, and I have to reach the standard of 64.50 meters," said the athlete. Both Marike Steinacker and Shanice Craft and Kristin Pudenz have already fulfilled this standard and thus set additional goals that should further spur the vita.

Claudine Vita is determined to compete in the Diamond League Meeting in Stockholm next Sunday, followed by her participation in the Sole Cup in Schönebeck a week later. "These are important competitions for me to further expand my shape," she explains. Their successes in the past speak for themselves; Among other things, she became German champion in 2016 and won gold in 2017 at the U23 European Championships.

The competition situation is also exciting in the men's discus throw. The Chinese Tuergong Abuduaini recently achieved a national record with 67.29 meters and shone at the same evening sports festival, while in the shot put of the men Thomas Phillip from SV Halle won with a personal best of 19.29 meters. Johannes Kunkel from SC Neubrandenburg also caused a sensation when he scored his first push over 17 meters in the shot put of the U18 with 17.42 meters.

World Championships are a big goal for every athlete. The 2023 World Athletics Championships took place in the Nemzeti Atlétikai Központ in Budapest, where 35 athletes from 24 countries could measure themselves in the men's discus throw. Wikipedia informs about the competition phases from August 19 to 21, which came up with interesting records and exciting performance. Claudine Vita can look forward to a comparable competition if you go to Tokyo in September.

With commitment and the right training, Vita, which already took 9th place in Tokyo 2020 in the shot put during the Tokyo Olympics, could build on their best performances in Tokyo. Your return and the view of the upcoming competitions make it clear: Claudine Vita is ready to start again!
