Julian Weber remains bewildered following the unexplained turn of events post Mega-Wurf incident.
Title: "Phenomenal Feelings: Julian Weber Shatters 90-Meter Barrier"
Holy smokes, Julian Weber can't believe his eyes after obliterating the 90-meter barrier in Doha! The Mainzer javelin slinger had the unbelievable score of 91.06 meters, making him the seventh German to break this record.
"I can't fucking believe it, mate! What the actual fuck just happened tonight?" Weber said, looking as stunned as anyone. "I think I'll have to watch this again, but damn, I just felt unreal!"
In the perfect storm of winning throw and a tailwind in Doha, the javelin throw was flying like a damn missile! With a personal best of 89.84 meters in the fifth round and the world-leading throw in the final round, Weber beat India’s Neeraj Chopra (90.23) for the gold.
"If you manage to get the right angle at this stadium, that bad boy just takes off!" he exclaimed to leichtathletik.de. "I'm gonna be riding this high for a while!"
Despite scaling back his training recently, Weber, who was 30 when he broke the 90-meter barrier, is optimistic about the rest of the season: "I know I can do better, and if I keep my shit together, some incredible things will happen!"
Weber narrowly missed the podium as a disappointment-inducing fourth at both the 2022 and 2023 World Championships and at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo and Paris. But with his latest performance, this year's World Championships could be the end of his unfortunate streak.
Weber moved up to fifth place in the DLV's all-time list, with the Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha being a lucky hunting ground for German javelin throwers. In 2021, Rio Olympic champion Thomas Röhler threw 93.90 meters there, and the record of 97.76 meters set by Johannes Vetter in 2018 still stands.
