Hoffa takes World Lead! IAAF Reese Hoffa established himself as the world leader with a huge
21.87M throw in Chemnitz, Germany on Friday evening (27). The
34-year-old US Shot Putter had been beaten by Germany’s World champion
David Storl the past weekend in another German meeting in Nordhausen by
ten centimetres. Storl had achieved 21.24M last week. But on Friday
Reese Hoffa, the World Champion from 2007, bounced back with his best
indoor effort since 2006. It was in Moscow when he had put 22.11m to win
the World Indoor gold. In Chemnitz, Reese Hoffa had taken the lead
in the first round with 20.81m, which in the end would have been good
enough to win. But Hoffa had other ideas. While David Storl opened his
competition with 20.75M and then failed to improve, Hoffa did so in his
final two attempts. After a 20.73m in round two and two faults he first
managed 21.08M and then with his last throw achieved the world lead of
21.87M. Portugal’s Marco Fortes took thrid place with 20.57M. Behind him
Germans Candy Bauer (19.98) and Ralf Bartels (19.04) followed. Chemnitz Shot Video
