Our sponsor athlete Saara Keskitalo achieved the ”magic limit” in sprint hurdles

Written by

Early in 2024 R-taso decided to support the young athlete Saara Keskitalo in achieving international levels in her athletic career. Supporting Saara in her athletics is a part of our social responsibility actions.

Saara’s early season has been successful. The so-called magic limit of women’s 100 metre hurdles is said to be 13 seconds. Saara beat that limit generously by running the time 12,84 in Joensuu games in July. It fell short only seven hundredth of a second from the Paris Olympics result limit. Saara won bronze in the Finnish athletic games in the end of June, which is a great achievement considering the high level in Finnish women’s sprint hurdles.

The season is still running. R-taso wishes Saara good luck for the rest of the summer races!
