Estonian decathlete Karel Tilga achieved sixth place at the competition held in Götzis with 8413 points. Tilga assessed his performances as stable but average, and believes he is capable of demonstrating near-record form by the time of the European Championships.

Estonian decathlete Karel Tilga finished the competition held last weekend in Götzis, Austria with 8413 points, which secured him sixth place. According to Tilga, his performances were stable but he considered them average — the kind of result that doesn't take you very far in elite-level decathlon.

Despite the result falling short of the athlete's expectations, Tilga's gaze is already turned toward the future. The Estonian decathlete believes he can significantly improve his form by the time of the European Championships and reach a level close to his personal record. The Götzis competition gave him valuable competitive experience for his continued development through the season.
