Pyatnytsya to return at Ostrava, by Alfons Juck, EME News DNIPROPETROVSK (UKR): Javelin throw London Olympic silver medalist Oleksandr Pyatnytsya informed EME News he is going to come back into competition at the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting on June 27 after having a knee injury and hamstring surgery in November 2012. “I started my throwing practices only a couple weeks ago. Knee still disturbs me but not a lot. I want to be back into competition as soon as possible as I missed it so much. Moreover I want to argue for many skeptics around me that I’m not an invalid and my comeback will be successful. I already threw at trainings over 72m. If even it’s nothing for international level it’s my first victory over the hard injury. I don’t want guess at the future but I’m ready to throw over 75m at competitions. I also want to perform at World Championships but we’ll make final decision depending on my recovery and fitness” said Pyatnytsya.
