Eugen (dpa) – Four women’s sprinters took Germany’s first medal at the World Championships in Athletics in Eugene. The quad raced behind the USA and Jamaica for the bronze medal in the 4 x 100 meter relay.
On the other hand, in the javelin, it does not work out – for Julian Weber, the bitter Olympic experience is repeated.
4 x 100 meters for women and men:
Tatiana Pinto, Alexandra Burghart, Gina Lokenkemper and Rebecca Haas won Germany’s first World Cup medal and raced to bronze in 42.03 seconds behind the United States and Jamaica. “It feels like a dream now, and I hope I don’t wake up,” Pinto said afterwards on ZDF. The victorious USA was 0.04 seconds faster than Jamaica for 100m world champion Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce and world 200m champion Sherika Jackson in 41.14sec. Canada snatched the men’s world championship title from the hosts. With the annual world record of 37.48 seconds, the quad was 0.07 seconds faster than USA World Champion Noah Lyles for the 200 metres. Great Britain came in third with a time of 37.83 seconds.
Javelin throwing, guys:
Once again, Julian Webber took the denial fourth place – and that was the case at the Olympics in Tokyo. The 27-year-old from Mainz threw 86.86 meters on the first attempt and couldn’t get any better. National team coach Boris Obergfull reports that Webber sprained his foot at the second attempt and was unstable as a result. A deeply frustrated Webber explained on ZDF that he felt vulnerable. Anderson Peters of Grenada defended his title with 90.54 metres. India’s Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra won the silver with a record of 88.13 metres, ahead of Olympic silver medalist Jakub Vadelich of the Czech Republic, who clocked 88.09 metres.
Decathlon:
Defending champion Niklas Cole finished 16th after the first day. The 24-year-old from Mainz showed strong performances in the top five disciplines, but did not give the best personal results and collected 4147 points. However, Cowell is considered the second day man with his own strength in javelin throwing. The best German player is World Cup newcomer Leo Neugebauer of LG Leinfelden-Echterdingen. With a score of 4298 points, the athlete, who studies in Texas, took 9th place in the provisional standings. Fifteenth place is occupied by former third-place player in the World Cup, Kai Kazmiric of LG Rhein Neufeld, with 4,165 points. Tim Nowak of Ulm is only ranked 20th with 3,989 points. Aiden Owens-Delerm of Puerto Rico will start the second day of competition in first place with 4,606 points.
4 x 400 meters for women and men:
Obviously, the German seasons missed the finals. Neither the women nor the men were quick enough to make the last two medal decisions in the title competition in the US on Monday night (4.35 a.m. / 4.50 a.m. CST/ARD). In the women’s race, the US relay team led by World Championships record medalist Alison Felix was the fastest, taking 3:23.38 minutes to warm up. Just eight days after what was supposed to be her last major race, Felix wore nails again and ran for the USA as the second runner. The German quartet with Corina Schwab, Elisa Lechleitner, Judith Franzen and Aleka Schmidt passed the final with 3: 30.48 minutes. Among the men, Marvin Schlegel, Manuel Sanders, Mark Koch and Patrick Schneider finished eleventh from all teams with a time of 3:04.21 minutes.
Triple jump for men:
After one year of success in Tokyo, Olympic champion Pedro Piccardo also won the world title. 17.95 meters was 40 centimeters longer than the best jump of Huggs Fabrice Zango of Burkina Faso, who took bronze at the Olympics and now won the silver. The bronze went to Yaming Zhu of China. Defending champion Christian Taylor was injured at the home world championships in the United States, and former European champion Max Hess missed the final.
800 metres, men:
Olympic champion Emmanuel Kipkoroy-Curier won his first world title. The Kenyan completed the race with a time of 1:43.71, 0.43 seconds ahead of Algerian Djamel Sjjati. Bronze went to Marco Arup of Canada.
5000 meters for women:
Without German participation, the world title went to Godaf Tsegay of Ethiopia. The Olympic bronze medalist celebrated with her compatriot Dawit Seyoum, who took the bronze behind Beatrice Chebet of Kenya. And the Dutch Olympic champion Sivan Hassan in sixth place. Konstanze Klosterhalfen, Alina Reh and Sarah Benfarès missed the final round.
