M65 shot put WR claimed by German Kurt Goldschmidt

Kurt Goldschmidt of Germany last Sunday bettered the listed M65 world record in the kugelstoss (shot put) during a multi-event competition in Hamburg, reports the Koops’ site. Kurt’s throw of 15.66 meters (51-4 1/2) with the 5-kilogram implement was about 4 inches past the 15.55 by German compatriot Klaus Liedtke set last year. Kurt is a world masters champion from 2006 Linz. Results of the meet where Kurt threw 15.66 are right here. Klaus’ record came in his comeback from a two-year drug suspension, as I reported on this blog last year.
