Thuringia is once again a world-class sprinter.
Julian Wagner (24) of LC Topteam Thuringia starts on Friday at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, USA (July 15-24). And the Erfurt native is one of the World Cup hopes in the 100m!
Wagner has recently run 10.12s three times in a row, his personal best of 10.11 — just a blink away from the sub-10-second magic range.
What will he gain in the World Cup? Wagner says modestly: “I’m going to the semi-finals and I want to repeat what I’ve shown in the last few weeks.”
Trained Mechatronics Technician recommended for individual and team. Germany is considered one of the contenders for the medals.
Wagner: “But first I want to confirm my performance from the season. The World Cup has new experiences, a new environment of international competition.
Of course: Wagner is following in the footsteps of German record holder Julian Reuss (34), who ended his career last year. Incidentally, his best time was 10.01 seconds. Wagner also likes to speed up time.
Unlock how fast it goes. After all, it took him eight years to increase his best time from 11 to more than 10 seconds.
