Gerd Kanter wins gold

Kanter threw a best of 68.82 metres.

He celebrated with a Usain Bolt-inspired 100m sprint, easing up at the line and pointing to the stars.

Piotr Malachowski of Poland took silver with 67.82m and Lithuania’s defending double Olympic champion Virgilijus Alekna claimed bronze with 67.79m.

Unfortunately all the videos have been removed from YouTube and there is now now way to watch the winning throw or medal ceremony. Very disappointing Olympic Committee ….
