After his opening throw of 77.10m (9th place !) Jakub unleashed a life time best
of 89.73m with his second attempt. Alas, for him, Johannes Vetter reached 89.89m
with his first and then 89.78 with his second, so the Gold medal was destined to be
just out of reach. In therfifth round Jakub threw 87.70m.
