Zimbabwean-born javelin thrower Farayi Chabvamuperu Van Den Bogaert, now based in Belgium, delivered an impressive performance at the PK Alle Categorieën Antwerpen - Dag Track and Field Championships, clinching a silver medal with a season’s best throw of 53.04 meters.
Representing OLSE AC, Farayi placed second behind Nils Utens of Willebroek-Boom, who secured gold with a throw of 55.70 meters. Koen Eelen of ACHL completed the podium with a personal best (PB) of 51.16 meters.
Speaking to Zim Now after the event, Farayi reflected on his return to form following an injury setback:
“It was a good start after trailing with injury, but now it’s well. During my warm-up I was hitting the 58m point and the furthest was a no-throw, but yeah, we are qualified for the Belgium European Athletics Championships Track and Field which is in two weeks.”
The event saw a strong field of competitors, with notable throws from Senne Van Gelder (49.47m), Sander Henderickx (43.38m), and Rens De Smedt (40.63m).
Farayi’s silver medal not only underscores his steady recovery but also secures his qualification for the upcoming Belgium European Athletics Championships. With renewed confidence, he now sets his sights on breaking past the 58-meter mark at the continental event.
