Overview
- Swiss Simon Ehammer won the decathlon at the Hypo‑Meeting in Götzis with 8,778 points driven by an 8.51 m long jump that improved his own ten‑event world‑best.
- World champion Leo Neugebauer finished second with 8,730 points and former champion Niklas Kaul was third with 8,528 points.
- Neugebauer’s excellent first day gave him a lead opportunity but weaker throws on Sunday, including a 50.77 m discus and 58.46 m javelin, limited his final total.
- In the women’s heptathlon Swiss Annik Kälin won with a national record and Sophie Weißenberg recorded a comeback personal best of 6,449 points after a long Achilles recovery.
- Götzis has long served as a season barometer and these results leave athletes planning follow‑ups in Ratingen and the European Championships in Birmingham, where form and fitness will be tested again.
