I guess that's DLV junioren gala. Another german impressed there too, 19 year old Robert Hering ran 10,34. Coming from a 60m pb of 6,79 and a 100m pb of 10,49 it's damn impressive!

And here, in English :-)

 Mannheim, Germany, June 13—JrSP: 1. Storl (Ger) 73-3½ (22.34) WJR (old WJR 72-9¼/22.18 Storl in series)
(70-10½ PR [3, 3 WJ], 72-9¼ WJR [old WJR 72-¾/21.96 Elkasević [Cro] ’02], 73‑3½, 69-7, 71-6¾ [x, 4 WJ, 70-5¼)

This stuff was buried in a generic "2009 results" thread;allow me to suggest that things of this magnitude should get their own thread instead of being buried in a generic one that quickly becomes impossible to follow.

Anyone in the know care to comment on the comparison of this mark with that best-known of HS marks? (what difference between 6kg/13.2lb and 12 lb -- certainly not the 10% from the weight difference, probably more like equal to or less than half that?)

[Powell]

Storl also recently threw 20.16 with the senior shot. I think it's been a few years since a junior last threw as far as this.

[Marlow]

It ain't no Carteresque 80 with a 12, but it's certainly better than what our HS phenoms are at. But it's also not what Terry Albritton did as a Jr.

I think it was Janus Robberts which was the latest junior to have a better mark (20.39 in 1998).

I have and old all-time list for juniors with seniors implement, not sure if I have missed some mark

over 20m

• 21.05 1974 Terry Albritton USA
  20.65 1979 Mike Carter USA
  20.43 2009 David Storl GER
  20.39 1998 Janus Robberts RSA
  20.20 1964 Randy Matson USA
  20.20 1974 Udo Beyer GER
  20.13 2001 Jeff Chakouian USA

[Neville L.]

Storl today achieved a 20.43m with the senior shot at a Shot Put Meeting in Gerlingen (Germany). Ralf Bartels won with 20.87m.

[Powell]

So that's a European junior record with the 7.26k shot, and the longest put in the world by a junior in 30 years!

[knockout]

wow thats impressive.... European and World records in the shot put have been rather rare since the introduction of random/out of season testing!!!

What happened to Elkasevic by the way?? WJR at 6kg and threw some big marks as a young senior, according to IAAF site last seen throwing 17m in Tuscaloosa!

David Storl improved on his world junior record with the 6kg shot (13.23 lbs) today in Osterode

We reported Elkasevic with a bad pectoral tear early in '07, then said a few months later he was only able to throw the disc. Sounds like he never quite recovered.

[knockout]

Such a shame for Elkasevic. Effectively a career ending injury so young.
