The greatest magnet of this event was a start of the unlucky participant of the Shot Put Final, Mykyta Nesterenko. He did not hesitate with his throw of 70.67 m and he won with sovereignty. It looks like it will be a clear victory for him in the Final. The next two were Marin Premeru 58.72 and Gordon Wolf 58.67, as it was assumed. The rest of the field is quite equaled and the order in the final will be the fact of the recent fitness.
