In a battle of javelin giants, Norwegian two-time defending Olympic champion Andreas Thorkildsen will be hoping to delight his home crowd as he competes against German world champion Matthias de Zordo.
“He (de Zordo) has been showing that he can throw really well under pressure,” the 30-year-old Thorkildsen, who won silver in Daegu, said of his younger rival.
Thorkildsen, who also has won gold at the 2009 worlds and was twice the European champions, threw his personal best of 91.59 metres in Oslo in 2006.
