This opens opportunities for others. Returning silver medalist Piotr Małachowski is the world leader hoping to move up a notch. In the trials, it took Fedrick Dacres one toss to make an automatic qualifier; Małachowski took three attempts to do so, yet no other competitors were able to throw automatic qualifiers. In the finals, Małachowski took the lead on the second throw of the competition with a 65.09, the next thrower was Dacres who put out a 64.22. Later in the round, 36-year-old Gerd Kanter threw 64.82 to take over second. In the second round Małachowski solidified his lead by throwing 67.40 which turned out to be the gold medal-winning throw. Three throws later Apostolos Parellis threw 64.55 to take over third. In the third round, Philip Milanov popped a 66.90 Belgian National Record to take over second place. There were no other fireworks until the fifth round when Małachowski's Polish teammate, Robert Urbanek got off a 65.18 to claim the bronze medal. http://www.iaaf.org/news/report/beijing-2015-mens-discus-final REPORT: MEN'S DISCUS FINAL – IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, BEIJING 2015 29 August 2015 iaaf.org 2 September 2015 Records Prior to the competition, the records were as follows:http://www.iaaf.org/records/by-discipline/throws/discus-throw/outdoor/men Records & Lists – Discus Throw IAAF 19 August 2015 World recordJürgen Schult GDR74.08Neubrandenburg, East Germany6 June 1986Championship recordVirgilijus Alekna LTU70.17Helsinki, Finland7 August 2005World leadingPiotr Małachowski POL68.29 Cetniewo, Poland1 August 2015African recordFrantz Kruger RSA70.32Salon-de-Provence, France26 May 2002Asian recordEhsan Haddadi IRI69.32Tallinn, Estonia3 June 2008North, Central American and Caribbean recordBen Plucknett USA72.34Stockholm, Sweden7 July 1981South American recordJorge Balliengo ARG66.32Rosario, Argentina15 April 2006European recordJürgen Schult GDR74.08Neubrandenburg, East Germany6 June 1986Oceanian recordBenn Harradine AUS68.20Townsville, Australia10 May 2013 Qualification standards Entry standards 2014 IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015 – Standards https://media.aws.iaaf.org/competitioninfo/544c7d0a-0807-4226-a85b-79928c58a097.pdf IAAF 18 August 2015 65.00 Schedule Date Time Round27 August 2015 09:30 Qualification29 August 2015 19:40 Final All times are local times (UTC+8) Results Qualification Qualification: 65.00 m (Q) and at least 12 best (q) advanced to the final.Qualification results Rank Group Name Nationality # 1 # 2 # 3 Mark Notes 1 A Fedrick Dacres JAM 2015 World 65.77 65.77 Q 2 A Piotr Małachowski POL 2015 World 0.00 x 59.08 65.59 65.59 Q 3 B Gerd Kanter EST 2015 World 0.00 x 64.78 61.94 64.78 q 4 A Apostolos Parellis CYP 2015 World 63.93 64.41 63.25 64.41 q 5 B Robert Urbanek POL 2015 World 62.97 64.23 0.00 x 64.23 q 6 B Christoph Harting GER 2015 World 64.23 0.00 – 0.00 – 64.23 q 7 A Vikas Gowda IND 2015 World 63.86 63.84 0.00 x 63.86 q 8 A Philip Milanov BEL 2015 World 0.00 x 62.20 63.85 63.85 q 9 A Daniel Ståhl SWE 2015 World 62.66 61.22 62.06 62.66 q 10 A Julian Wruck AUS 2015 World 60.84 60.80 62.63 62.63 q 11 B Mauricio Ortega COL 2015 World 58.81 0.00 x 62.54 62.54 q 12 B Benn Harradine AUS 2015 World 60.75 62.48 0.00 x 62.48 q 13 A Victor Hogan RSA 2015 World 62.41 0.00 x 62.33 62.41 14 A Andrius Gudžius LTU 2015 World 59.64 58.25 62.22 62.22 15 B Daniel Jasinski GER 2015 World 57.65 61.53 61.70 61.70 16 A Martin Kupper EST 2015 World 60.23 61.59 59.98 61.59 17 B Chad Wright JAM 2015 World 60.78 61.53 61.23 61.53 18 A Zoltán Kővágó HUN 2015 World 56.19 0.00 x 61.37 61.37 19 A Martin Wierig GER 2015 World 61.35 0.00 x 0.00 x 61.35 20 A Lukas Weißhaidinger AUT 2015 World 60.68 61.26 60.62 61.26 21 A Ronald Julião BRA 2015 World 61.02 59.71 59.28 61.02 22 B Jason Morgan JAM 2015 World 60.85 60.81 60.02 60.85 23 B Axel Härstedt SWE 2015 World 60.52 0.00 x 0.00 x 60.52 24 B Ehsan Haddadi IRI 2015 World 60.39 0.00 x 0.00 x 60.39 25 B Alex Rose SAM 2015 World 57.78 59.07 0.00 x 59.07 26 B Russell Winger USA 2015 World 56.08 53.16 58.69 58.69 27 B Essa Al-Zenkawi KUW 2015 World 58.44 58.68 57.64 58.68 28 B Lois Maikel Martínez ESP 2015 World 58.01 57.91 0.00 x 58.01 29 B Jared Schuurmans USA 2015 World 55.95 57.71 57.74 57.74 30 B Gerhard Mayer AUT 2015 World 0.00 x 57.73 0.00 x 57.73 31 A Rodney Brown USA 2015 World 0.00 x 0.00 x 0.00 x 0.00 NM Final The final was started at 19:50Final results Rank Name Nationality # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 # 5 # 6 Mark Notes Piotr Małachowski POL 2015 World 65.09 67.40 62.04 64.40 64.59 64.84 67.40 Philip Milanov BEL 2015 World 60.06 64.38 66.90 0.00 x 62.32 65.67 66.90 NR Belgian Robert Urbanek POL 2015 World 60.47 61.58 64.14 64.62 65.18 0.00 x 65.18 04 4 Gerd Kanter EST 2015 World 64.82 63.52 63.95 64.01 64.65 0.00 x 64.82 05 5 Daniel Ståhl SWE 2015 World 61.74 60.42 64.42 64.73 0.00 x 0.00 x 64.73 SB 06 6 Apostolos Parellis CYP 2015 World 63.20 64.55 63.63 63.46 64.39 62.66 64.55 07 7 Fedrick Dacres JAM 2015 World 64.22 59.80 0.00 x 62.74 61.73 0.00 x 64.22 08 8 Christoph Harting GER 2015 World 63.94 63.55 0.00 x 0.00 x 0.00 x 0.00 x 63.94 09 9 Vikas Gowda IND 2015 World 60.28 0.00 x 62.24 62.24 10 Benn Harradine AUS 2015 World 58.15 0.00 x 62.05 62.05 11 Mauricio Ortega COL 2015 World 13.10 0.00 x 62.01 62.01 12 Julian Wruck AUS 2015 World 59.74 60.01 56.78 60.01 References Discus throw Category:Discus throw at the World Athletics Championships
