Topfavorit Johannes Vetter has sacrificed a medal in the spear throw at the Olympic Games.
Johannes Vetter shook his head, the look was empty, beaten and stunned the potavorit on gold in the spear throw through the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo. It should be the place of his large triumphs, instead, cousin slipped out. Because the 28-year-old did not come up with the start-up cover, it was enough for the powerhouse from Offenburg with weak 82.52 m only to place nine.
"To puke" and "really bitter" is that, said Vetter in the zdf: "I'm sorry for those who have pressed my fingers." The starting coating is "not made" for an athlete like him. That could be "dangerous" for him and be "not healthy".
Thus, the German athletics team experienced the second disappointment with the heavily assessed spearers. On Friday, Christin Hussong had already become a medal candidate only ninth, only Malaika Mihambo got gold for the German Athletics Association (DLV) in the long jump.
Instead of the cousin programmed on gold, Neeraj Chopra (87.48) became spear throw Olympic champion, the Indian was against Jakub Vadlejch (86.67) and Vitezslav Vesely (85.44 / both Czech Republic). Ungrateful fourth was the Mainz Julian Weber (85,30). "Fourth place is unbelievable. But I realize that I can not really look forward to how I should," said the sportsoldat, "I'm sorry for John. The coating has not kept his power."
"Since the technical system completely breaks a"
Already on Wednesday in the qualification, cousin had noticed that he would get problems with the starting pad. Then the World Champion from 2017 remained immediately in the first attempt just under 14 meters under his seasonal story of 96.29 m, the second was invalid - and cousin held herself the aching left ankle after slipping away. When dropping about a ton of weight on the joint. "I put everything," said Vetter disappointed, "I always compare that with Aquaplaning." The technical system completely breaks in. "
In doing so, the organizers had to cool down the Mondo tracking trait with hundreds of egg packs before the start of the competition starts extra tries to allow cousin and co. To allow a fixed stand in the loss. But for Power-Werfer's cousin that was not enough. Friends, fans and family at Public Viewing on the market square in Offenburg suffered with their "Jojo". That's "really a drama. It's a catastrophe, I'm deep trouble," said ex-world champion Christina Obergföll, the wife of Vetters coach.
With Boris Obergföll, Vetter had been sought after the Qual Quali after sweeping from the start-up dilemma, even with the sports psychologists responsible for the football team of sports psychologists Hans-Dieter Herrmann phoned cousins in detail - not to endanger the very big dream. It helped everything.
Before Tokyo, cousin in 19 competitions in series remained undefeated, as clear number one in the world traveled to Japan - but in Tokyo, when it came to it, cousin slipped away.

"That's a pity, really bitter, pisses me animal too," said Vetter, but also admitted fairly: "We see here other top services, Julian has thrown well, even the Indian. They just put a little different from on top of it. But I'm one who, when he wants to throw over 90 meters, needs a strong stemmembein. I have to sit down the heel right. " But cousin slipped out.
