The discus ace won in Graz on Friday in 66.90 m clearly ahead of the German 2016 Olympic champion Christoph Harting (63.22). “It was definitely my best competition with a tailwind and long pants, I couldn’t have thrown better today,” said Weißhaidinger about the “tailwind for the World Championships” in August.
Javelin thrower Victoria Hudson lived up to her role as favorite at the start, as she did in St. Pölten. The World Cup starter’s own meeting record of 60.98 m remained out of reach (57.87) in a gusty headwind, as the association explained. The Briton Eugene Amo-Dadzie won the 100 m in 9.93 seconds – according to ÖLV the third fastest time that has ever been run over this distance in Austria.
