Beijing Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski, all 6 foot, nine of him, has peaked quite well. Throwing personal bests in two of the last three meetings prior to Berlin (his best being a huge 21.89m), the Polish champion threw 21.19 in the first round in Berlin, leading the men’s shot put qualifiers.

Tomasz noted, after his throw: ” Of course, it is a good feeling to qualify with the first attempt, but this is just a qualification and now, I only want to focus on the final. I feel I am the in the best shape of my life.”

Reese Hoffa, the defending World Champion, threw 20.23m to make the finals. Reese was pretty introspective: “I am not sure what exactly was missing tody to qualify straight with a better mark. Maybe teh competition was too early for me, or the attempts were following very fast. It could have been also some technical issues, but I know what was the problem, so that at least I can fix it. Definitely, I am in 21m shape or higher.”

It took Christian Cantwell, the Beijing silver medalist, two throws, but his 20.63m put him over the auto qualifier of 20.30 ( or top twelve distances). Christian told the media:” I am fine. All I know is, I get a chance. Now, Let’s see what I can do with my attempts tonight.”

Adam Nelson needed one throw to move to tonight’s final: his 20.50m silenced any questions about his fitness. Number four in the world, Daniel Taylor, had two fouls and a sub par throw of 19.23m and does not move on.
Watch the throwers from Belarus: Pavel Lyzhyn, the former European Indoor silver medalist, threw 20.72m, and World and Olympic bronze medalist Andrei Mikhnevich hit 20.65m.
The German crowd had something to cheer as Ralf Bartels, the European Champion, moved on with his 20.41m-on his third attempt. Peter Sack, also from Germany, hit 20.20m and moved on.

May I say that @spectrum's internet service sucks? I just love speaking with the robotic voice on #Spectrum. I am thinking of just bringing an old router up from the basement. More reliable. First ...router ever, from #Flickr.
