Ascending shape at Yemisi Ogunleye and Malaika Mihambo, a demonstration by Robert Farken and a victory without shine for triple jumpers Max Hess. In addition, the discus launchers showed a high -class competition on the last day of the finals. High jumper Christina Honsel also convinced. Speer thrower Kathrin Walter crowned her best season so far. Sprint-Ass Gina Lückenkemper, on the other hand, said her start at the final. There were another 20 decisions at the final final in athletics.
But the long jump Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo was not satisfied after her eighth German open-air and 16th German championship: The Heidelberger prevailed on Sunday (03.08.2025) in Dresden with a width of 6.82 meters against Imke Daalmann (6.52 meters) and Libby Buder (6.45 meters). However, the first reaction of the two -time world champion was self -critical.
Mihambo self -critically: “mixed”
Because of the missed seven-meter brand and three failed attempts in six jumps: “It was mixed, it would have been more in it”said Mihambo, who only jumped 7.01 meters this season and did not come close to her personal record of 7.30 meters. “I’m just glad that I managed to do it so well with my thighs, so I had problems last week.”
Daalmann with significantly improved record
Mihambo once again showed her nerve strength, only flew to her best in the last attempt – and then danced in the interior. But she would also have won with her other two valid attempts (6.63 meters/6.64 meters). The second -placed Imke Daalmann showed an impressively strong competition, who improved her personal record by 17 centimeters in 6.52 meters.

In the duel for silver and bronze, Stuttgart -based Alina Kenzel prevailed against Saxon Katharina Maisch. Kenzel reached 18.56 meters from the fifth attempt. Maisch, who was already the second best German vastness at 19.25 meters this season, came to the bronze width of 18.31 meters on her last attempt.
Ogunleye: “From competition to competition better”
Winner Ogunleye was happy: “I take the 19.29 meters and the strong series. The focus is on the World Championships. It gets better from competition to competition”said the Rhineland Palatinate after the competition on ZDF. The Mannheim woman wants to get her first open-air World Cup medal in the title fights in Japan in September. Most recently at the ISTAF in Berlin, she had to be satisfied with second place and a width of 18.88 meters.
“I will now install a new strength block again to get a certain consistency in the technology. It takes a lot of bumps and many repetitions. We are again in the training camp, the full focus is, that was also extremely good last year before the Olympics, just get out of home and concentrate”revealed Ogunleye with a view of the coming weeks.
Narrower and high -class Discus competition

We really trained on it, in the end it worked out well”the 27-year-old title holder Jansen, who was able to repeat his DM success of 2023. He can now look forward to the World Cup.

High jumper Christina Honsel in action
Honsel surely crossed the heights of 1.80 meters to 1.91 meters in the first attempt. Then she tried a new personal record of 1.97 meters – and failed in the third and last attempt only minimally with a calf touch of the bar.
Onnen, which was able to increase its record to 1.97 meters this year and thus jump in the European Top 10, tore the 1.91 meters three times in Dresden. Longer interruptions in competition through young races or by introducing the three -jumpers, which started shortly afterwards, were certainly not conducive to the concentration of the athletes.
