Heptathlete saves 11 points: Gold for Ehammer at the World Indoor Championships

Radiant medalist: Simon Ehammer.

World Indoor Champion Simon Ehammer!

Just like two years ago in Belgrade, Serbia, Appenzell reached the podium in the heptathlon. At that time there was silver, now he hangs the gold medal around his neck in Glasgow, Scotland. Ultimately, eleven points separated him from the Norwegian Sander Skotheim – what a thriller.

Ehammer starts Sunday in second place overall. Standing in front of him is 26-year-old Ken Mullings from the Bahamas. In the 60 m hurdles, Ehammer set the best time of all athletes on the track: 7.62 seconds. Then he was again the best in the pole vault and was the only one to cross 5.20 meters. The reward: Ehammer enters the last 1000 meters as the leader. Second-guessing is not a threat. Skotheim lurks in third place. The 21-year-old Norwegian wants to turn things around at the last minute.

Skotheim won the last race in a time of 2:33.23 minutes. This personal record puts pressure on Ehammer. However, the 24-year-old can tolerate this. Ehammer also ran a personal best (2:46.03 minutes) and ultimately saved eleven points at the finish. (Yes)
