Today seems to be the day of surprises, or maybe not? First Sandra Perkovic was beaten by Yaimi Perez in the discus thrower [URL:https://throwholics.com/2015/0…ovic-beat-by-yaimi-perez/], and now David Storl is finally going beyond the 22m mark!! He tossed the 7.26kg ball to 22.20m (72' 10"). Joe Kovacs placed 2nd with 21.71m (71' 2¾") and Reese Hoffa 3rd with 21.30m (69' 10¾"). Now Storl is one of the throwers being able to go beyond the 22m mark.

Finally, the German shot…

I added the flash interviews just short after. You have probably read this when i published the competition.

Quote from Joe Kovacs

I’m 2nd today…. but await Beijing. The most difficult for us, Americans, is to make the US team. I made it, that is the most important. Some of the best shot putters won’t be in Beijing for instance. The Diamond League is great but you have to choose your battles. For me, it is Beijing this year. You are never satisfied with 2nd place, but as I said, this is training for me, on the back of our national championships. Congratulations to David for his victory today.
