On the first day of the Hallesche Werfertage, Maurice Voigt could throw the first international norm of the season of the JenJavelin team of the LC Jena. In addition to Thomas Röhler, who has already surpassed the standard for the European Championships in Berlin several times, Voigt is now on the way to the young world elite.

The throwing conditions were a lot better than in Schönebeck. Maurice Voigt already started with strong distances in the competition. In his last attempt, he then managed to surpass the 70m mark. 70.09m meant second place in the international male u20 field. At the same time he met the standard for the U20 World Championships in Tampere (10-15.07.2018)
