Saunavaaras comments on competion
"It was quite interesting because the world record holder and the Mexican and the Australian were starting ahead of me and I felt quite relieved after I had a good start. Then in the second and third throws I tried too hard and it was too bad that ZEPEDA threw more than me."

"I am very happy. I couldn't do any better. I came here to throw better than I ever did before and I did that."

"I expected the Mexican to be my biggest competitor since he had done well in the European meets so I am not surprised."
