Right in the opening series, he sent his equipment to a distance of 21.77, thereby improving his own best Czech performance from Turnov this year by six centimeters. He also added three more attempts from far beyond 21 meters (21.42 – 21.41 – 21.14). Tomas won by more than two meters ahead of Pole Szymon Mazur (19.63).
