Timo Port wins gold at winter throwing championships in Halle!

On February 17, 2025, Timo Port triumphed from SV Go! Saar 05 at the German Winter throwing championships in Halle/Saale. In the youth U20 youth, he prevailed under cool temperatures that were just over zero and secured the title in the hammer throw. Port, which was already a German U20 champion last year, showed a strong performance, even if he initially fought with his throws.

in the pre -fight Port started with a width of 66.35 meters, which initially brought him to the top of the rating, but was significantly below his own expectations. Despite two weak attempts, the young athlete could not be discouraged. A crucial conversation with his trainer, Christoph Sahner, helped him calm his nerves and implement new strategies.

technical increases in competition

In the further course of the competition, Port continued to increase. After an invalid fourth attempt, which was very frustrating for him, he succeeded in a width of 67.66 meters in the fifth attempt. In the final round, he surprisingly threw his six-kilo hammer to 69.01 meters and thus strengthened his first place. The distance to the second -placed Matti Hummel from the Uac Kulmbach was 4.06 meters, the best width of which is 64.95 meters. Port stated after the competition that he had set a 70-meter mark as the goal, but he was satisfied with the result under the given cool conditions.

The winter throwing championships not only included the U20, but also the categories of the active and the U18. Timo Ports success is the result of hard work and good preparation. His trainer, Christoph Sahner, and the entire training group were praised for their achievements.
