The German javelin thrower Julian Weber is the new European champion and thus the successor to Thomas Röhler, who won the title in Berlin four years ago. The 27-year-old from Mainz won the European Athletics Championships in Munich on Sunday with a jump of 87.66 meters and won his first international medal. Weber missed out on a podium place at the Olympic Games last year and most recently at the World Championships when he finished fourth. Now he secured the sixth European title for the German team in Munich.
