German javelin thrower Johannes Vetter showed an incredible performance
–
The three-time Olympic champion and world champion Železný threw a world record of 98.48 meters in May 1996 in Jena, Germany. None of the spears have approached his performance since then.
Vetter, who has been two historical charts for over three years, has only succeeded today. He improved his current German record from Lucerne by more than three meters at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial.
“It’s crazy. It’s an incredible feeling. It won’t happen to me until later, but I’m very proud,” Vetter told SID. “If I had conditions like Želený at the time, it would have flown for a hundred,” he said.
The javelin competition in Chorzów had only three participants. The Vetters were beaten by Marcin Krukowski and Cyprian Mrzyglód, who he defeated by 13 and 20 meters, respectively. With his great advantage, the 27-year-old German shocked in the third series and did very well in the fourth attempt.

In it, the 2017 world champion with a performance of 94.84 also broke the current German record (94.44) and his current world maximum of 91.49 from the August meeting in Turku.
Boris Obergföll (formerly Henry), a former rival of Jan Železný, approached the 90-meter mark in the fifth series, in which he threw 89.95.
For Vetter it was the seventh victory in a row, he threw five times over 90 meters this year. He leads the world tables this season almost ten meters ahead of the Indian Níraj Čopra (87.86).
Červenková improved her personal record
Markéta Červenková took second place in the women’s shot put, improving her personal record to 18.32. She missed the victory by a single inch. Simona Vrzalová moved her best Czech performance this year by almost ten seconds to 4: 07.89 in strong competition in the 1500 meter run. British star Laura Muir won 3: 58.24.
One hundred women were dominated by the Dutch Dafne Schippers, who will present herself at the Golden Stilts in Ostrava on Tuesday. Nikola Bendová finished sixth.
