Vanessa Kamga wins Gothenburg GP with 62.87m discus throw after European bronze

The European Championship form is holding up. Vanessa Kamga won the Gothenburg GP with three discus throws over 62 metres. “I’m super happy,” she tells SVT.

Ten days after the 27-year-old took bronze at the European Championships in Birmingham, she produced a strong discus throw at Slottsskogsvallen in Gothenburg, even though the winds were not ideal.

"We had really bad wind today. But I'm not a wind connoisseur, I just take it for granted," says Kamga.

She was very pleased with the effort, with the winning throw landing at 62.87 metres.

After the European Championships I have been very tired, a little sick. So I am happy that I was able to deliver at such a high level. My form is good and I am very excited for my last two competitions, Finnkampen and the Diamond League final.

Caisa-Marie Lindfors came second in 60.77.
