Discus Men: Malachowski snatches victory from fellow-Pole Urbanek

A last round effort of 64.65m gave Piotr Malachowski an unlikely looking win over fellow Pole Robert Urbanek after the European bronze medallist had taken the lead by 4cm in round two with his season’s best of 64.47m. Malachowski’s opening effort of 64.43 remained his best until round six when th world silver medallist did just enough to repeat his 2013 victory here and get his Diamond Race discus defence off to a winning start. India’s Asian and Commonwealth Games champion Vikas Gowda was third with 63.90 while Estonia’s former world and Olympic champion Gerd Kanter did not make the cut.
