Perth javelin thrower Kim Mickle continued to boost her world championship medal aspirations with another second-place finish, this time at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial meet in Budapest jeans embroidery.

Mickle threw 61.31m, the same distance as Marharita Dorozhon, but the Ukraine claimed victory on a countback with a better second throw, 61.16 to 60.97.

Fellow Australian, Kathryn Mitchell threw 59.98m to place third.

"Hungary was always going it be the tricky one being five to seven days off the plane. Out of the whole trip I knew this one would be tough." said Mickle.

"I am feeling flat and dead but I am still really happy with that. Anything over the 61 mark is quite nice. To throw 61.31 and lose on a countback was a bit rough."

Mickle's performance comes less than a week after the 28 year-old threw a personal best of 64.35m to finish just 39cm behind Germany's Olympic silver medallist Christina Obergfoll at the Diamond League meeting in Paris wine class.

In a promising sign ahead of the world championships in Moscow next month, the West Australian has now placed in the top three of all four international competitions she has contested this year.

"My whole goal is consistency and it's nice to know I can pull something out when I am feeling flat." she said.

In other events Canberra hurdler Lauren Boden was sixth in the 400m hurdles in 56.14 seconds behind winner, American Dalilah Muhammad (54.94).

Sydney jumper Brandon Starc cleared 2.24m to place equal sixth in the high jump which was won by Kostantinos Baniotis from Greece with 2.33m.

America's Queen Harrison, one of Sally Pearson's rivals for the world title Asian college of knowledge management, won the 100m hurdles in 12.71 seconds.
