As mentioned in the preview for the Schönebecker SoleCup 2016, the women's discus event was highlighted by possible great results. The event has just finished, and one can see that it was not a lie. The German Julia Fischer won the competition with strong 66.29m. Anna Rüh (64.08m) and Shanice Craft (64.02m) completed the podium.
As already mentioned Julia Fischer seems to be in the season of her lifetime. First, she opened the season with a new personal best of 66.59m, then continuing with her massive new personal best of 68.49m. In Eugene, it seems she was a bit tired from the flight considering the result of 61.91m. Tonight, Julia Fischer threw 66.29m to take the victory. Her seasonal average is currently at 65.82m which is of such high class. There are three tickets available, and Julia Fischer seems to be in the lead for getting one of these. She threw three times beyond the 65m line today.
Anna Rüh and Shanice Craft fought for the 2nd place. Shanice Craft was in the lead after the first three rounds with 64.02m. But Anna Rüh bettered the result with her 5th round effort of 64.08m Only 6 centimeters further than Shanice. In mid-May Claudine, Vita threw a new personal best of 62.40m, but today she bettered this result by 33cm. Kristin Pudenz ended up with the 5th place and 59.13m.
In the absence of Martin Wierig, who just injured his throwing hand slightly Markus Münch took the opportunity and blasted the 2kg implement close to his personal best of 66.87m. During the 3rd round, Markus Münch threw 66.78m to underline also his ambition for the Rio Olympic Games tickets. Now there are even four throwers in front of the Olympic Champion Robert Harting.
