Mykhaylo Kokhan's fifth throw was his best and in fact his best
ever throw. Earlier in the year he won the European U20 Championship
with a record 84.73m (using a lighter hammer).
In 2017 he was the World U18 champion.

*** Wojciech Nowicki was awarded a bronze medal following
irregularities in the conduct of the competition which disadvantaged the
Polish athlete. The opening throw by Bence Halász was perhaps invalid - his only
other valid throw was 73.76. So two medals for Poland. Nice.
