Athletics: Mihambo and Ogunleye as German champions to the World Cup

After a small tremor, Malaika Mihambo jumped to her next German championship title. The Olympic champion of 2021 initially made two invalid attempts in Dresden and threatened to discharge before the decisive three rounds. The third attempt to 6.63 meters and the last one to 6.82 meters gave Mihambo the 15th national title.

Bibbert didn’t have her, “but I knew that I had to do everything right in the next,” said the two -time world champion. “There would have been more in it today.” The 31-year-old has already surpassed the brand of seven meters this year and will also fly to the World Cup from September 13th to 21st in Tokyo as a medal candidate.

Kunkenschraft Olympic champion Yemisi Ogunleye again voted German champion with an appealing width. Ogunleye won at 19.29 meters ahead of Alina Kenzel and Katharina Maisch. Kenzel bumped 18.56 meters, Maisch came to 18.31 meters. A week ago, Ongunleye remained under 19 meters with technical problems with technical problems.

Ogunleye happy about the victory

“I am glad to have defended the title today,” said Ogunleye and was satisfied with the vastness: “19.29 – I think that speaks for yourself. Nothing was missing.” For the World Cup, the 26-year-old is also one of the great German hopes. Olympic gold in Paris sensationally won Ogunleye in the last attempt with exactly 20 meters in the last attempt.

Farcs celebrate in front of the finish line

The new German record holder Robert Farken did not miss the victory over 1,500 meters. The Leipziger won in 3: 46.96 minutes and celebrated in front of the finish line. Third finished Mohamed Abdilaahi (3: 48.10), the master and new German recorders over the 5,000 meters. “I was already on the ground in my career, so you cost a title like this,” said Farken.

Strong competition of the discus launchers

Henrik Janssen secured the title in the discus throw with a strong 68.41 meters in the best competition of the weekend. The World Cup ID of 2023 won ahead of Steven Richter (68.27) and Mika Sosna (67.24). Defending champion Clemens Prüfer (63.17), who became fifth, also fulfilled the World Cup standard for Tokyo, but there are only three starting places. Two of them should now go to Janssen and judges.
