Ukrainian hammer thrower Mykhailo Kokhan won a silver medal at the Silver Series tournament of the continental athletics tour, which took place in Poland. In the hammer throwing sector, the Ukrainian competed mainly against representatives of the host country, yet the fight for the podium spots was conducted at a high level and remained tense right up to the final. ### The Sixth Attempt Decided the Fate of Second Place The key moment of Kokhan's performance was his sixth and final attempt. It was on this throw that the Ukrainian sent the hammer to 77.16 meters, posting his best result at this tournament. This throw allowed him to climb to the second step of the podium and finish the competition with a silver medal, leaving the rest of his rivals behind. ### Fajdek Held onto the Lead The gold medal was won by the titled Polish thrower Pavol Fajdek, a five-time world champion. The host of the tournament posted a result of 79.04 meters and confidently held first place. Thus, Kokhan fell 1.88 meters short of victory — a margin that in hammer throwing determines the order on the podium. ### Context of the Ukrainian Thrower's Season The performance in Poland became yet another significant stage in Kokhan's season, as he continues to deliver stable results at international competitions. Against the backdrop of his performance, Ukrainian athletics is also discussing the outcomes of other athletes: earlier, Yaroslava Mahuchikh summed up her season and revealed her plans following her recent triumph. ### Contradictory Data It is worth noting a discrepancy in the information about Kokhan's results that arises when comparing different sources. The main material and the Sport RBC.UA publication record precisely a silver at the Silver Series tournament in Poland (77.16 m). At the same time, a number of other outlets (TSN, gorod.dp.ua) report that Kokhan won bronze at the 2026 Absolute World Championships in hammer throw, while ua-football.com mentions his victory in the second division of the European Championships. These pieces of information relate to various competitions of the season and do not negate the fact of the silver medal in Poland, however, they show that in open sources the thrower's results from different events are sometimes presented without a clear link to a specific tournament, which requires careful verification when citing. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Final attempt brings a medal: Kokhan wins "silver" at athletics tournament in Poland](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/othersport/zaklyuchna-sproba-prinesla-medal-kohan-viborov-1789760698.html) - Полностью совпадает с базовым текстом: серебро в Польше, 77,16 м на шестой попытке, золото Файдека 79,04 м. - [Kokhan wins bronze in the final of the 2026 Absolute World Championships in hammer throw](https://gorod.dp.ua/news/263303) - Описывает другое соревнование (Абсолютный чемпионат мира-2026, бронза), не противоречит факту серебра в Польше, но требует разграничения в статье. - [Kokhan wins "bronze" at the Absolute World Athletics Championships in hammer throw](https://tsn.ua/ru/prosport/kohan-vyigral-bronzu-absolyutnogo-chempionata-mira-po-legkoy-atletike-v-metanii-molota-3166883.html) - Совпадает с источником 2 по событию (бронза Абсолютного чемпионата мира), отдельный старт сезона. - [Hammer throw.
