15.08.2010 - The Arona giant, as usual, was among the medal favourites on the basis of his throws in minor meets but once again his nerve let him down on the big occasion. Although impressive in qualifying, when he threw just under 65 metres (the third top mark), Pestano could not match the performance when it most mattered and ended up sixth, a long way behind Poland’s Piotr Malachowski (68.87). He has now failed to fulfil his potential in successive world championships, Olympics and now the European championships.
