Vetter has fond memories of Chorzow.
That was where he recorded his personal best of 97.76 last year.
With the throw at the European Cup Super League, the German has two of the three longest throws of all time after Jan Zelezny's world record of 98.48 from 1996.
- I am very happy with my result today and for giving Germany seven points, says Vetter who had to cancel the competition after four throws due to a feeling in his right thigh.
- It was a bit sad to have to cancel prematurely because I felt pain in the knee extensor muscle, says Vetter to the European Athletics Federation.
Vetter now has the five longest throws in the world this season. Second in the statistics is the Indian Neeraj Chopra with 88.07.
