Keshorn Walcott left Poland for Glasgow, Scotland, yesterday, with a gold medal under his belt after he threw 82.90 metres to win the men's javelin event at the 17th Janusz Sidlo Memorial, in Sopot.
Walcott dominated the field, with the next best challenger, Lukasz Grzeszczuk, managing only 76.46m. In third was another Pole, Pawel Rozinski, who threw 76.46m.
Walcott is scheduled to meet only a handful of those against whom he competed at the London Olympics in 2012, at this year's Commonwealth Games. The Games open tomorrow, but Walcott will be in action from August 1, when the men's javelin preliminaries will be held.
The classification round will take place the following day, just before the competition ends.
His season best stands at 83.94m, which he recorded in Beijing, China, back in May.
Meanwhile Cleopatra Borel, who threw 18.96m to place fourth at the Diamond League meet in Monaco, last Friday, returned to the field a day later at the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games, in London, where she took third. She produced a 18.99m effort, behind winner Christina Schwanitz of Germany, who threw 19.92m. USA's Michelle Carter placed second in 19.80m.
Borel will also represent T&T at the Commonwealth Games.
