HOFMANN AHOFMANN Andreas

Sixth 77.29 q

With the rain, the conditions were not ideal and there were a lot of starts and noise. But all of us had the same conditions. I am happy I made it to the final. I have had back problems this season but my back is ok now, the MRT also showed that. So when I got back into training again, I was at 70m. But I was able to improve that. My last training session on Tuesday went really well. I still have two more days to be able to improve on those 77m until Sunday's final. I am on a very good way after my back problems. Those problems are gone and the body is doing fine. As an athlete you are always very sensitive when it comes to health problems, injuries, back pains etc.

WEBER JWEBER Julian

Second 80.99 q

I have never had rain during a competition before. I sometimes had it in the warm-up but not really during the competition. But it was ok. You can cope with that. It was not a problem. Well, it was not very warm today. Andreas Hofmann recently got rid of his back problems, but they just started with me after Eugene. It was a difficult qualification. Every one of us javelin throwers has got one or more small or bigger health problems during the season. And the winner will be the one who kept away from injuries etc. and who is still fit and in shape after this long season. In Eugene I had a great qualification and the final was not ideal then. So today let's hope that it is the other way round. Because I did not feel so well this morning. In the final I will give it all.

ETELÄTALO LETELÄTALO Lassi

Third 79.29 q

I only chose to do one throw, mainly because I knew this was enough. I saw the first group didn't do so well, so I think my throw was better than most in that first group - so, I was convinced it was enough. Throwing in Group was was an advantage - asbolutely, especially, because it's morning time. I could sleep a little bit longer. I don't know anybody who enjoys throwing in the morning. I also don't like throwing under raining conditions, but it didn't affect me too much today. I saw the forecast, so we were prepared for heavy rain, so it turned out ok. The plan now is to relax today, some therapy and physio tomorrow, maybe a lit bit of training just to test the waters.

VADLEJCH JVADLEJCH Jakub

Winner 81.81

I think I did not focus on the first throw very much so I was going the second one safely to the final. The surface is very wet now. I stopped the qualification as the 81.81 should be enough for the final.
As I used to say, just forget the qualification, the final is a new competition. I will concentrate myself to show some long throws.
The German crowd is great here and I believe that the javelin final will be very simmilar to the women' s discus throw. The fans were cheering for the home competitor as well as for Sandra Perkovic. So I believe they will support us all.
My target is to make it hard to the other throwers.
