World Athletics Championships 2023 – live ticker from Friday, August 25th, 2023

11:42

high jump (F)

At 1.92 m, Christina Honsel got an “x” in her first attempt. So far, Cunningham, Mahutschich, Lamara Distin from Jamaica and Morgan Lake from Great Britain have jumped this height at first go.

11:40 a.m

Decathlon, long jump (M)

“Let’s go!”: Leo Neugebauer continues to heat up the audience in the hot temperatures in Budapest. And the third attempt by the 23-year-old goes really far. With 8.00 m he pulverizes his personal best and grabs 1061 points. Damian Warner also makes a strong last attempt and increases to 7.77 m.

11:35

Decathlon, long jump (M)

Pierce Lepage increases to 7.59 m in the third attempt, but as in the 100 m, the strong Canadian falls short of expectations. Kevin Mayer is limping out of the long jump pit, it doesn’t look like the Frenchman will be able to pull through the competition. After all, 7.25 m is an increase.

11:29

high jump (F)

Off the dream! Johanna Göring tears in the third attempt and retires at 1.89 m. Ukraine’s medal contender Yulia Levchenko needs all three tries, as does USA’s Vashti Cunningham. But both stay.

11:27

Decathlon, long jump (M)

In his second attempt, Niklas Kaul also jumps far in front of the board and thus gives away important centimetres. 7.01 m is not an improvement.

11:26

Decathlon, long jump (M)

Leo Neugebauer and Damian Warner both fly towards the eight-meter mark, but both attempts failed. Manuel Eitel climbed to 7.14 m with his second jump. The other Norwegian youngster Markus Rooth jumped to 7.62 m.

11:24

high jump (F)

Bravo, Christina Honsel! The Wattenscheiderin masters the 1.89 m in the second attempt. So far 13 athletes are over it.

11:21

Decathlon, long jump (M)

The young Norwegian Sander Skotheim reaches a strong 7.80m in his first attempt – and is only three centimeters behind Leo Neugebauer. Lindon Victor improves to 7.55 m, the second jump of Kevin Mayer, who is said to have problems with the Achilles tendon, is invalid.

11:16

high jump (F)

It will be tight for Johanna Göring at 1.89 m. The second attempt by the 18-year-old also fails.

11:14

Decathlon, long jump (M)

Niklas Kaul landed at 7.16 m on his first attempt – in his only competition in Ratingen this year he had gotten 18 centimeters further.

11:13

high jump (F)

The two German high jumpers initially have a difficult time at 1.89 m. Christina Honsel and Johanna Göring fail in the first attempt. Jaroslawa Mahutschich manages the 1.89 m straight away, as do Nicola Olyslagers and Angelina Topic.

11:11

Decathlon, long jump (M)

Manuel Eitel reaches 7.03 m in his first attempt and still leaves room for improvement.

11:10

Decathlon, long jump (M)

Leo Neugebauer makes a very strong attempt at the start – and it’s valid. 7.83 m is a new personal best for the best of the year. Damian Warner starts with 7.62 m.

11:07

Decathlon, long jump (M)

Pierce Lepage opens with 7.53 m and remains only four centimeters below his season best from Götzis. Kevin Mayer, who fell out with a salto zero in the long jump at Kauls World Championship victory in Doha, makes a safe jump to 7.14 m.

10:59

high jump (F)

Johanna Göring’s second attempt over 1.85 m looks better. The 18-year-old can tackle the next height, 1.89 m.

10:57

Javelin throw (M)

Former champions don’t have it easy in the first group. Julius Yego, world champion of 2015, has to tremble with 78.42 m as eighth. Defending champion Anderson Peters from Grenada is just ahead of him in seventh place with 78.49 m. London Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott from Trinidad and Tobago has decided not to start.

10:53

Javelin throw (M)

Julian Weber animated the audience before his third attempt and again missed the required 83 meters. But the javelin flies consistently over the 80 meters. 80.83 m is not an increase. Weber is still in second place.

10:49

high jump (F)

Christina Honsel does it better than Johanna Göring in her first attempt over 1.85 m and jumps the height right away.

10:48

Decathlon, long jump (M)

In a few minutes, the decathletes will start their second discipline, the long jump. Here, too, European champion Niklas Kaul, who has his strengths on the second day, should lose ground to the top. Leo Neugebauer, on the other hand, is an acceptable long jumper; the 23-year-old jumped 7.68 m in his German record. So far this season, Manuel Eitel has jumped 7.40 m.

10:44

high jump (F)

Without bloodletting, it goes on to 1.85 m, and that’s where Johanna Goering makes the first mistake.

10:37

Javelin throw (M)

After dropping his second attempt, Julian Weber’s index finger goes up. But the European champion is happy too soon. Although 82.39 m is an improvement, it is not yet a safe entry into the final. Nevertheless, hardly twelve athletes should exceed this distance in both groups.

10:35

high jump (F)

None of the 35 athletes fall out at 1.75 m. So 1.80 m are put on, and again Christina Honsel and Johanna Göring are already successful in the first attempt. The favored Jaroslawa Mahuchich rises only at 1.89 m.

10:32

Javelin throw (M)

The Indian Tokyo Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra then puts a big exclamation mark. With 88.77 m he throws the second-best distance of the whole year of all athletes and enters the final with flying colors. In form he is the top favorite there too.

10:30 a.m

Javelin throw (M)

There is hardly a breeze in the stadium, which doesn’t make it easy for the athletes in qualifying. Julian Weber’s good distance from the first attempt is all the more important. Behind the man from Mainz are Toni Kuusela from Finland with 79.27 m and Roderick Genki Dean from Japan with 78.21 m in second and third place.

10:29

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

Interim result after 1 of 10 disciplines: 1 Damian Warner (Canada) 1018, 2 Ayden Owens-Delerme (Puerto Rico) 992, 3 Manuel Eitel 989, 4 Pierce Lepage (Canada) 987, 5 Zachery Ziemek (USA) 956, 6th Kyle Garland (USA) 954, … 10th Leo Neugebauer 931, … 23rd Niklas Kaul 817

10:27

high jump (F)

The two German starters Johanna Göring and Christina Honsel climb in at the starting height of 1.75 m and both are successful right away. A score of 1.94 is required for a safe entry into the final.

10:25

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

Olympic champion Damian Warner of Canada is considered one of the strongest sprinters and lives up to that role with the fastest time of the competition at 10.32 seconds. Pierce Lepage, fourth in 10.45 seconds, may not be entirely satisfied with his time.

10:24

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

The two Germans Leo Neugebauer and Manuel Eitel also stay just a few hundredths of a second above their best times of the season. Neugebauer runs a 10.69 in seventh, Eitel in third even a 10.44.

10:20

high jump (F)

Silver in Doha, silver in Eugene. In Budapest, Yaroslava Mahuchich from Ukraine should finally win the World Championship gold in the high jump. However, the form curve of the European champion has recently pointed a little downwards. This could be a chance for Australia’s best of the year, Nicola Olyslagers. The other strong Ukrainians Julija Levchenko and Irina Gerashchenko, the US-American Vashti Cunningham, U20 European champion Angelina Topic from Serbia and last but not least the defending champion Eleanor Patterson, who has not gotten into the swing of things this season, are also in ambush. Christina Honsel has already achieved really good results in the indoor season and sniffed at the two meters, the 26-year-old is still waiting for the big hit outdoors. The highly talented Johanna Göring, who is only 18 years old, can gain her first international experience with adults.

10:19

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

World Cup third Zachery Ziemek lets out a primal scream. In 10.58 seconds, the American set a new season best and won his run ahead of Lindon Victor from Grenada (10.60) and Dutchman Rik Taam (10.64).

10:18

Javelin throw (M)

That’s a good basis: Julian Weber already surpasses the 80-meter mark in his first attempt and is provisionally at the top of the rankings with 81.05 m.

10:15

Javelin throw (M)

83.00 m are called for the final. The Rio second Julius Yego from Kenya stays in his first attempt without a width. What does Julian Weber do?

10:11

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

Niklas Kaul runs a courageous race but, as expected, is a little behind. With 11.20 seconds, the man from Mainz, in seventh place, came within four hundredths of a second of his personal best at the European Championships in Munich, which is quite satisfactory. The Estonian Johannes Erm wins in 10.69 seconds, defending champion Kevin Mayer enters the competition as second with a 10.79.

10:02 a.m

Javelin throw (M)

Almost at the same time, the next German medal candidate started his qualification: Julian Weber. For years there was a dense crowd for the German starting places at World and European Championships. In Budapest, the European champion from Mainz is a lone fighter. As second on the entry list and with four throws over 87 meters, Weber is one of the favourites. The Czech Tokyo second Jakub Vadlejch has been on a similar level so far, and Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra from India can also be expected again. But as is well known, a lot can happen in the javelin throw.

10:00 a.m

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

Leo Neugebauer and Manuel Eitel are considered excellent sprinters and will start their decathlon in the third of three runs. Niklas Kaul has other chocolate disciplines and will be there in the first race. A total of 24 athletes go in pursuit of gold, silver and bronze.

09:52

Decathlon, 100 m (M)

They are considered the “kings of athletes”: The decathletes start their competition with the 100 meters – and the chances of a German medal are excellent based on the pure paper form, because youngster Leo Neugebauer is in the US after his 8836-point competition -College Championships in June at the top of the entry list. With European champion and Doha world champion Niklas Kaul, the DLV has another hot iron in the fire. But the competition is strong and well-known. These include Tokyo Olympic champion Damian Warner from Canada and his compatriot Pierce Lepage as well as French world record holder Kevin Mayer, who has not yet completed a decathlon this season. It’s going to be really exciting!

09:46

Generally

Welcome to the seventh day of the World Cup! Today, with the start of the decathlon with Niklas Kaul, Leo Neugebauer and Manuel Eitel (from 10.05 a.m.) and the qualification in the javelin throw with Julian Weber (from 10.10 a.m.), the foundation stone is to be laid for the first German medals.
