    Jarno is a very talented thrower and would have scored points in the outdoor championships.
    One point of clarification however, the under 20 European meet used the 6 kg shot and the 1.75 kg discus vs the 7.25 shot and 2.0 kg used in the NCAA’s. It is very confusing, but high schoolers in the U.S. use a 12 lb. Shot (about 5.45 kg) and a 1.6 kg discus. Internationally athletes of an equivalent age use the 6 kg and 1.75, so it’s a little hard to compare.
    Still he has thrown remarkable distances with the larger instruments, and he is only 19.
