Mariya Abakumova won javelin throw at the IAAF World Athletics Tour Golden Spike meeting in Ostrava, Czech Republic, with 66.89 m. It seems to be a good season in women javelin throw since top three, Abakumova; Obergföll and Spotakova, have all won one meeting where they've all been. Although Mariya might still need to more consistant since her performances have varied quite a much.

Well she isn't injured, that's for sure. World leading 68,92 m in qualifying with first throw. Amazing that some athletes have the ability to do their best of the season when most needed. Very good coaching. Almost like with Majewski.
I prepared myself very seriously for this qualification. But I did not plan to throw that far. This result surprised me very much and even my coach was impressed. He was asking me why I threw so far but I think it was just result of my great shape and hard training. I hope I can also throw very far in the final.
I am very satisfied that I qualified with the first throw but I am totally upset about my feelings today. It was not me today. I could not wake up since the early morning. I wish I would not have the feelings like this in the final. I was very surprised that it flew so far beacuse I felt as a dead girl. I did not expect it to be so bad. But if I am gonna be relaxed, it can be different. I think I should relax more and not to walk that much. I try to think possitively and everything can be different tomorrow.

Was my favourite women thrower at that time, but then got caught using 6?-methylandrostendione which is some kind of women's hormone blocker. Eligible to compete again in 14.07.09. World record 77,80 m owner. Has thrown even further, but those were disqualified after drug test.
