Hereford Voice Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Britain's Dan Pembroke won a gold medal last night and gave himself an early birthday present by adding the world javelin title to his Paralympic crown at the Para Athletics World Championships in Paris. Dan, set an F13 European record of 70.50m. It's a double celebration as it's Dan's 32nd birthday today π₯³π₯ π·Β British AthleticsΒ wrote; Dan Pembroke. Throwing in just his fourth competition of the year, the reigning Paralympic and European champion lined up in against stiff competition in the F13 javelin, with six of the thirteen in the field holding personal bests in excess of 60m. Showing no signs of competition rust, however, Pembroke produced a seasonβs best of 65.97m with his opener to immediately put the rest of the field under pressure in needing to chase. He went even bigger with his second throw, knowing heβd done so as he turned away arms aloft, with the throw registering as a huge European record of 70.50m. Truly a cut above on the day, Pembroke went out to 66.85m in round three, with his lead established as close to ten metres at the half-way stage of the competition. Finding 66.27m before opting to pass his fifth attempt, Pembroke finished up with 63.54m, his winning margin come the end of the competition some seven metres. Coming as something of an early birthday present ahead of turning 32 tomorrow (Sunday 16th), Pembroke spoke on the medal and record, saying:Β βπ°πβπ ππππππ ππππ β π°βπ πππππππ πππ πππ πππππ πππππ πππ πππ ππππππππππ πππππ ππ ππ πππππ πππππ. βπ°βπ πππππππ πππππππ ππ πππ πππππππππππ πππ πππππππ ππππ π° ππππ ππ π π, π πππ. π―ππππππππ π° πππ ππππ πππ πππππππ πππ ππππ ππππ πππππ ππ πππ πππ πππ: ππππππ ππ πππ πππ πππππ ππππππ . βπ»ππ πππππππππππ πππ ππππππ ππππ β ππ ππππ ππππ πππ πππππ, ππ ππβπ ππππ ππ ππππππππ ππππ ππ ππππππππ πππ πππ πππ πππππππ. π° πππ ππππ ππππππ ππππ ππ ππ 70.50π πππ π° π ππ πβπ ππππ πππππππ ππ πππ ππππ ππππ πππ β ππ ππππ ππ ππππ, ππ π° ππππππ ππππ πππππβπ ππππ ππ ππ. π―ππππππππ ππππ π ππππππ πππ ππ π πππππππ πππππππππππ ππ πππ π·ππππππππππ πππ π° πππ πππ ππππ πππππ ππππππ . π° πππππ π°βππ πππππππ πππ πππ π πππ πππ π° ππππ ππ πππππ ππππ ππππππ, ππ π° ππππ ππππππ πππ πππππ ππππ ππππ ππππ,β πΆπ πππ ππππππππππ ππ πππππ π πππππππ ππππππ πππ, π·πππππππ ππ π ππ : βπ΄π πππππ π«πππ πππ π ππππππ ππππ πππ β πππππ π° π ππβπ, ππππ ππ πππ πππ β πππ ππ ππππ ππππππ ππππππ ππ ππ πππ-ππ πππ πππππππππ ππππππ πππππ π° π ππβπ. πΊπ πππππ πππ ππππ ππππ ππ π«πππ, πππ πππππππ ππππ ππ π³πππππππππππ, ππ ππππππ π πππ ππππππ β πππππ πππ ππ ππππ.β Hereford VoiceΒ -Β CongratulationsΒ Dan well deserved, Happy birthday!
