Discus throwers Diamond Race ended today in Zurich and last year Diamond Race winner Gerd Kanter won the meet with a new SB 67.02m. Also a very interesting ending to Diamond Race 2013 where Kanter managed to climb up from 3rd position to the overall winner!
Second was Robert Harting with 66.83m and third Ehsan Hadadi 66.07m.
Diamond Race 2013 ended with the most interesting solution, where before today, the leader was Piotr Malachowski with 14 points, unfortunately did not earn any points. Gerd Kanter and Robert Harting had both 8 points and after today Kanter has 16 points and Harting 12 points. That means that Kanter has won the Diamond Race 2 years in a row. Congratulations!
Interesting fact - the last meet, where Gerd Kanter won Robert Harting was 10th June 2010 at Golden Gala Rome.
Congratulations to Virgilijus Alekna, who had his 300th competition over 60m today.
