Four fast women collected the first German medal at the World Championships in Athletics in Eugene.

The sprint quartet raced behind USA and Jamaica to bronze in the 4x100m relay.

In the javelin throw, on the other hand, it just doesn't work - for Julian Weber the bitter Olympic experience is repeated.

4x100 meters, women and men:

Tatjana Pinto, Alexandra Burghardt, Gina Lückenkemper and Rebekka Haase won the first German World Cup medal and sprinted to bronze behind the USA and Jamaica in 42.03 seconds.

"It feels like a dream right now, I hope I don't wake up," said Pinto afterwards on ZDF.

The victorious USA was 0.04 seconds faster than Jamaica for world 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and world 200m champion Shericka Jackson in 41.14 seconds.

Canada snatched the men's world title from the hosts.

With the annual world best of 37.48 seconds, the quartet was 0.07 seconds faster than the USA around 200-meter world champion Noah Lyles.

Great Britain came third in 37.83 seconds.

Javelin throw, men:

Another thankless fourth place for Julian Weber - that was the case at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The 27-year-old from Mainz threw 86.86 meters in the first attempt and couldn't improve on it.

National coach Boris Obergföll reported that Weber buckled his foot on the second attempt and was unsettled as a result.

The deeply disappointed Weber explained on ZDF that he felt weak.

Anderson Peters from Grenada defended his title with 90.54 meters.

Indian Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra secured silver with 88.13 meters ahead of Olympic silver medalist Jakub Vadlejch from the Czech Republic, who threw 88.09 meters.

Decathlon:

Defending champion Niklas Kaul is in 16th place after the first day.

The 24-year-old from Mainz showed solid performances in the first five disciplines, but no personal bests and collected 4147 points.

However, Kaul is considered a man of the second day with his special strength in the javelin throw.

The best German is World Cup debutant Leo Neugebauer from LG Leinfelden-Echterdingen.

With 4298 points, the athlete, who is studying in Texas, is ninth in the interim ranking.

In 15th place is former World Cup third-placed player Kai Kazmirek from LG Rhein-Neuwied with 4165 points.

Tim Nowak from Ulm only ranks 20th with 3989 points.

Ayden Owens-Delerme from Puerto Rico will start the second day of competition as number one with 4606 points.

4x400 meters, women and men:

The German relays clearly missed the finals.

Neither the women nor the men were fast enough for the last two medal decisions of the title fights in the USA on Monday night (4.35 a.m. and 4.50 a.m. CEST on ARD).

In the women's race, the US relay team led by World Championships record medalist Allyson Felix was fastest, taking 3:23.38 minutes to heat up.

Just eight days after what was supposed to be her last big race, Felix had donned the spikes again and run for the USA as second runner.

The German quartet with Corinna Schwab, Elisa Lechleitner, Judith Franzen and Alica Schmidt clearly passed the final with 3:30.48 minutes.

Among the men, Marvin Schlegel, Manuel Sanders, Marc Koch and Patrick Schneider finished eleventh of all teams with a time of 3:04.21 minutes.

Triple jump, men:

One year after the success in Tokyo, Olympic champion Pedro Pichardo also won the world title.

His 17.95 meters was 40 centimeters longer than the best jump of Hugues Fabrice Zango of Burkina Faso, who took bronze at the Olympics and now won silver.

Bronze went to Yaming Zhu from China.

Defending champion Christian Taylor was injured at his home World Championships in the USA, and former European champion Max Hess missed the final.

800 meters, men:

Olympic champion Emmanuel Kipkurui Korir won his first world title.

The Kenyan completed the race in 1:43.71, 0.43 seconds faster than Algerian Djamel Sedjati.

Bronze went to Marco Arop from Canada.

5000 meters, women:

Without German participation, the world title went to Gudaf Tsegay from Ethiopia.

The Olympic bronze medalist celebrated together with her compatriot Dawit Seyaum, who secured bronze behind Beatrice Chebet from Kenya.

Olympic champion Sifan Hassan from the Netherlands was sixth.

Konstanze Klosterhalfen, Alina Reh and Sarah Benfarès all missed the final run.
