At Ruppert it was a real thriller, he was a bit too safe on the home stretch and finally needed the photo finish to get ahead with a hundredth of a second.

The Olympic fourth Marike Steinacker, who had dared to do a World Cup medal, also remained significantly below her possibilities with 57.43 meters.
