Sosna's youth really showing through in the worst way,58.88 and four fouls for 11th place,i get why he went into the men's final and not the under 23 one,but he would of been second there with that result.

Ceh's final throw was 67.83.his winning throw is apparently the second best in the cups history after his coach Gerd Kanter who gets out alive with the 69.70 record set in 2009.

Steven Richter[also a 19 year old till early April] with 64.23 in the under 23 competition,14 centimeters from the Cr record,but more importantly is now 8 on the worlds list.I cannot wait to See what Mykolas does for his first start in April.

i believe this popped up like a few days ago,becuase i feel like even tough the result happened on feburary 1 i would of noticed it instantly,we have 15 year old guy in discus who threw 62.54 in his first ever discus competition,[yes it was 2kg]and he was actually 14 when he did this,birthday is in mid feburary.
