Steve Backley (left) of Great Britain congratulates Jan Zelezny of the Czech Republic. The 34-year-old Zelezny, dogged by a raft of back and shoulder injuries in recent seasons, blasted out a throw of 90.17 metres. Backley took the silver with 89.85 and Sergey Makarov of Russia took the bronze with 88.67.
