Julian Weber smiles as he watches the javelin sail over 87m during the
Diamond League meeting in Zurich, a season best. Alas, it was not enough
to win, as Johannes Vetter had a throw of over 89 metres. At the Olympics Vetter
was off form and did not make the top eight, whereas Julian just missed winning
a medal with his then season best.
