Estonian Runners Training in Kenya, Optimistic About Šalkauskas’s Potential Tiidrek Nurme, a top Estonian runner, is forecasting a strong performance from fellow competitor Deniss Šalkauskas this season, expressing confidence in several potential record-breaking achievements. Nurme and Šalkauskas are currently training together in a Kenyan camp, utilizing the country’s challenging terrain for preparation. Nurme believes Šalkauskas is capable of surpassing several established Estonian middle-distance records. Specifically, he predicts Šalkauskas will run at least one of his name-related records this year, and potentially up to three. A key target identified by Nurme is Šalkauskas attempting to break the Estonian record in the 1500-meter event, currently held by Nurme at 3:38.59, a time set at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. The pair’s training regimen focuses on building endurance and speed, aiming to maximize Šalkauskas’s competitive edge. Nurme’s assessment highlights Šalkauskas’s potential and underscores the collaborative approach being taken by the two Estonian athletes as they prepare for upcoming races. Further updates on their training progress will be provided as they continue their camp in Kenya.
