Ethan Katzberg’s championship throw Tuesday night in Tokyo was something the World Athletics Championships had never seen.
The now two-time world champion’s second throw disappeared into the night sky and landed 84.70 metres away – a new personal best, Canadian record, North American record … and World Athletics Championships record.
No one has ever launched a hammer at Worlds as far as Katzberg’s golden throw.
He also had the second and third longest throws of the night (83.73 metres and 83.07 metres, respectively).
Catch up on all the action from Day 4 at the 2025 World Athletics Championships.
