A big day at the World Athletics World Cup ended with a world record by Armand Duplantis. Previously, Ditaji Kambundji had caused a sensation and was very lucky. The third competition day at an overview.
Pole vault – world -class competition, duplantis breaks down
The World Athletics World Cup in Tokyo has its absolute highlight: the pole jumpers delivered an incredibly strong competition, seven athletes crossed 5.90 meters – Bo Kanda Lita Baehre was the only German participant with 5.75 meters tenth. And at the top, the Greek Emmanouil Karalis (won with six meters of silver) tried to make the high -flyer Armand Duplantis gold. He failed very much at 6.15 meters – but he couldn’t have shocked the Swedes with it either.
Because he not only won the World Cup title, but he broke through a new sound barrier in his discipline. Duplantis jumped his 14th world record and screwed the record in the third attempt to 6.30 meters high. The nation stadium cooked, at that moment all other competitions had already ended and Duplantis had the entire world stage of athletics – and it used it in the best possible way.
100 meter hurdles – sensational victory of Kambundji
She certainly did not expect this gold medal herself: In an incredibly dense world-class field, Ditaji Kambundji has surprisingly won the World Cup title over 100 meters hurdles. With the national record time of 12.24 seconds before the world record player Tobi Amusan (Nigeria/12.29 seconds) and Grace (USA/12.34), the Swiss prevailed.
Kambundji’s sister Mujinga had brought bronze over 200 meters in Doha in 2019, now Ditaji trumped her again. It was the first World Cup gold since 2001 when André Bucher triumphed over 800 meters in Edmonton. Before her World Cup coup, Kambundji’s best performance was 12.40 seconds.
1500 meters – emotional chaos with a happy ending for farken
The dream of the final was dreamed of for Robert Farken – and then there was the redeeming news long after his finish. The German record holder was broken down in 3: 37.52 minutes, but on the home stretch he was so hindered by Cole Hocker (USA) that the jury subsequently gave him the final ticket. The American was disqualified, Farken will start in the finals on Wednesday – the DLV runner himself said in the interview that he had run out of breath.
In the first run, one of the biggest favorites had prevailed on the title with Niels Laros. The 20-year-old “miracle runner”, who also triumphed at the Diamond League final in Zurich, won his run in the final sprint in 3: 35.50 minutes. Jakob Inbrigtsen had already failed in the lead.
3000 meters of obstacle – Ruppert spends itself in leadership work
In the Diamond League final, Frederik Ruppert was still the big triumphant, at the World Cup the DLV athlete had nothing to do with the decision. For a long time Ruppert had led the race when the pace was put on, he had to pay tribute to this work in the wind. In 8: 39.83 minutes, the 28-year-old was only twelfth, and Niklas Buchholz finished 15th, whose finals were already a success. The title won the title after a great end spurt Geordie Beamish from New Zealand.
“I’m not satisfied, I have to analyze what I could have done differently”said Ruppert in the Sportschau interview. “In the end, something was missing. But that doesn’t change the fact that it was the best season of my career, that shouldn’t reduce the whole thing.”
Hammer throw – Kuhn becomes ninth at Rogers -Triumph
Her moving into the final fight was already remarkable and there she also left a good impression: Aileen Kuhn took a good ninth place in the hammer throw, with 71.57 meters the 21-year-old remained about a meter below her personal best. The victory went to Canadian Camryn Rogers with a world year best of 80.51 meters.
Long jump – Batz misses the final
Simon Batz lacked only six centimeters to achieve the final in the long jump at the World Athletics World Cup. At 7.92 meters, the 22-year-old was 17th and did not make it to the top 12, which can start in the final fight taking place on Wednesday.
“You have to say that the starter field was really strong and the boys delivered well. Unfortunately, I always gave a lot on the board, but unfortunately that is part of our sport”said Batz in the sports show interview. “I felt more good than ever and have to say that a lot is still going. That makes it bitter, but you just have to get it on the board. The others have jumped on, so it deserves.”
110 meter hurdles – bad day for murderi, minoue surprised
For Manuel Mordi, the World Athletics World Cup has already ended after the preliminary. With his time of 14.25 seconds, the 22-year-old not only stayed far behind his possibilities, but was by far the last in his run. “It was catastrophic at the back”admitted Mordi. In contrast, Gregory Minoue, whose 13.50 seconds were enough to make fifth place as one of four time -fastest (the top 4 of the respective runs), qualified directly) into the semi -finals.
400 meter hurdles – German duo takes the first hurdle
OWE Fischer -Breholz successfully survived his lead in a time of 48.81 seconds as third (the top 4 came on directly) – however, tremors were announced in Germany’s best hurdle runner. After his run, Fischer-Breiholz took the back thigh, said in the Sportschau interview: “I have a really pain in the buggy, that is just annoying me. 200 meters before the finish, I noticed that it shoots in in the desk. I hope that I will no longer have it in the next round.”
The 21-year-old continues: “We will see what is possible if I get the bugger under control. I hope that works.” The semi -finals continue on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. In them there is also Emil Agyekum, who finished second in his run in a good 48.33 seconds. Joshua Abuaku (49.41 seconds), on the other hand, was eliminated, who could not benefit from the fact that Superstar Karsten Warholm (was third in 48.56 seconds) ran right in front of him.
The other favorites Abderrahman Samba (Qatar/48.03 seconds), Alison Dos Santos (Brazil/48.48), Rai Benjamin (USA/48.15) and Ezekiel Nathaniel (Nigeria/48.37) also gave themselves no nakedness.
Marathon – Petros with Energy performance to Sensational silver
Marathon runner Amanal Petros has secured an entry in the German sports history books in Tokyo: the 30-year-old was the first German to win a silver medal at a World Cup.
Immediately before the finish, Petros had gold, but had to give up alphonce Felix Simbu from Tanzania in the target sprint. With Richard Ringer, the second DLV runner also delivered a strong race as 13.
3000 meters obstacle – Krause and Meyer reach the final
Two of three German runners have reached the final: Gesa Krause (best time of the season of 9: 16.76 minutes) and Lea Meyer (9: 13.18) each made the finale on Wednesday (2:57 p.m., live in the first and at Sportschau.de). Olivia Gürth narrowly missed the crucial fifth place: in the best time of the season (9: 15.28), she was sixth.
The 33-year-old Krause, who won World Cup bronze in 2015 and 2019, suffered a rib break in June in a fall. In the Sportschau interview, she showed herself relieved to be in the final even with her seventh (!) World Cup participation: “It was a bumpy season. I am happy that I could solve it today. I trained well and want to push myself forward as possible in the final.”
