Johannes Vetter is considered the German Olympic hope for Tokyo 2021. But the javelin was pissed off during a competition.
Gateshead - "What a shitty competition ...", if this is how the analysis of a winner begins, then a lot has gone wrong.
Of course, this description would also fit the European Championship final in 2021, because there were sometimes abnormal riots at Wembley.
But Johannes Vetter, 2021 Olympic favorite in javelin throwing, describes his competition in Gateshead, England.
The Olympian doesn't mince his words, which makes him more personable than many other athletes.
Of course, this offends him, but real announcements can be expected from him.
"The final is on August 7th, because I want to get gold," said Vetter in a recent interview with
Sky
.
And the preparations are going well - even if he goes hard with an organizer.
Olympic hope 2021: will Vetter get gold?
He was pissed off at a competition in England
85.25 meters were enough to win the Diamond League meeting.
“I'm not one who looks for excuses, but I'm very disappointed with today's conditions and the organization,” Vetter explains and describes the problems: “It started with a slippery surface - obviously the organizers are not interested in injuries - followed by ridiculous waiting times before our last attempt to please the TV channels ”.

Vetter describes it as "embarrassing" that the Diamond League expect professional and exceptional performance, but cannot provide "appropriate conditions".
Olympia 2021: In Tokyo, the circumstances for Johannes Vetter can only get better
Even if Vetter was happy about the victory, the javelin thrower has some advice for the organizer. “Maybe my prize money would be better invested in a new rubber. Only with a new rubber do I even decide whether I will come back or not ”. When
asked
by
Sky
about the meeting
, Vetter replied: “You can break your legs there. I dropped the first five attempts seven meters from the line. That was enough to get into the top three - in the end all or nothing in the bottom. ”Vetter was world champion in 2017, third in the 2019 World Cup - he holds the German record with a width of 97.76 meters.
From a German point of view, let's hope that our gold hope will find better conditions in Tokyo - Vetter has already found words about football that everyone thinks about the empty stadium.
