Nowicki sets season best at 75m in hammer throw, then announces competition break

Olympic hammer throw champion Wojciech Nowicki broke his season best with a throw of over 75 metres in the opening round of the Czesław Cybulski Memorial on Sunday. He achieved the result despite intense heat and a blunt implement. He then announced he would not be competing again in the near future, unlike rival Paweł Fajdek, who is set to appear at a meet in France on Friday.
