Harting misses LA World Cup

After the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Rio Olympic champion Christoph Harting will also miss the upcoming World Championships in Eugene/USA. At the German championships in Berlin, the 32-year-old did not get better than fourth place and 59.91 m and thus clearly missed the norm (66 m). His best performance of the season is 60.93 m. Old master Martin Wierig (64.25) secured the title ahead of Henrik Janssen (62.88/both Magdeburg) and Torben Brandt (59.92/Berlin).
