PASSING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS PLACE
He suffered a drop in form during 2019 and turned down selection for the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Qatar, to allow compatriot Justin Weber to compete. He was awarded the 2019 Fair Play Prize of German Sports for allowing Weber to take his place. "It was a very difficult decision. I thought about it for a long time, and talked about it with my coaches. In the summer my form was so bad that I was dissatisfied with myself. I was confident I would be able to find it again, but in the end it was a throwing session where I noticed something was wrong. I didn't want to go into a world championships as one of the favourites and then crash out before the final. Justin was in rising form and we are very good friends. I was nominated as I had the stronger record, but from a recency point of view I found that unfair. I wanted to give him a chance to show what he could do at the world championships and he proved that by finishing sixth." (sportbuzzer.de, 24 Mar 2020)
