At yesterday's athletics evening in Pärnu, the main focus was on the sprinting events. Estonia's Rasmus Mägi took first place in the 300 meters, with a time of 33.02 seconds.
Estonian track athlete Risto Lillemets finished fifth in the heptathlon at the European Athletics Indoor Championships over the weekend with a score of 6,055 points. Estonian sprinter Karl Erik Nazarov reached the finals of the 60 m and came in seventh.
Lillemets did not set a new personal best in Torun over the weekend, finishing 34 points of his personal best mark of 6,089 points. His individual discipline results from the indoor championships are as follows: 7.04 (60 m) - 7.28 (long jump) - 14.50 (shot put) - 2.04 (high jump) - 8.09 (60 m hurdles) - 5.00 (pole vault) - 2:43.21 (1000 m). I think it was a proper competition. There are places where I could have taken more and I did not set any personals, Lillemets told Vikerraadio post-competition. The first day was what it was. I finished, position and results were okay. There was nothing to complain about. A super competition, super emotion.
