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.

Update

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 ….
