Masters SM 2022 Throwing Pentathlon

Saturday, October 1, 2022. Cloudy and raining at times and max. 15°. SMA and LCL organized the 1st Throwing Pentathlon and Weight Throwing Masters Swiss Championships at the facilities of Allmend in Lucerne. The hardcore Masters Throwing Pentathletes ventured once again to the Allmend at the end of the year. The group of ILV and LC Lucerne helpers, and judges were also supported by referee Fritz Graber. Lord of the rings (facility and equipment manager) was Guido Troxler, hammer coach of LC Lucerne. The two U16M boys, Petar Lisinac and Tobi Karlsson threw AK (out of competition) and had their first experience in the throwing pentathlon. The throwing pentathlon and the throwing weight did not (yet) exist in the active and younger categories.
Most athletes acheived the required standard to win a medal (or prize). Not the best of luck for Connie Hodel and David Erard who ended the competition with three zeros each in the hammer throw. Both missed the title, David even by a mere 3 points.

Several Swiss Masters records also fell:
– Margaritha Dähler-Stettler W75 with 10.52m in the Weight Throw 4kg;
– Jerzy Krawczyk M75 with 8.63m in the Weight Throw 7.26kg;
– David Erard M45 with 10.57m in the Weight Throw 15.88kg.

In the pentathlon, Petar Lisinac, U16M, who is still much too young for the Masters and therefore competes out of competition, achieves the highest score of all participants with 3645 points; in the Masters women’s competition, Margaritha Dähler-Stettler, W75, achieves this with 3563 points; in the men’s competition, Albert Luder, M65, swings to the top with 3512 points, as in the Winter Throw 2022 Championships. In the future, the WMA will introduce new age factors and this will give the opportunity to adjust the standards and to finally create the all-around and also the throwing pentathlon record lists. We are on it.
At the end there were some small snacks at the award ceremony. To the participants it is clear: Alea jacta est.
