Is the young German David STORL , the "New TIMMERMANN", as some throws coaches already think ? His linear technique shows a lot a similarities with Timmermann's style and especially a low glide and a great speed across the circle . But since his very impressive world junior record of 22,73m with the 6kg , he has indeed "only" achieved 20,77m with the 7kg . It needs time to build a shot putter . If David will find how to control his speed with the 7kg , he may be able to produce throws at 22m level . In his warm up at the Diamond league meet in Zurich , he was even close to this distance but was then trying too hard when the competition started and had to satisfy with only 20m. Anyways , for London 2012 , there is a big chance he could be somebody to watch as a possible contender for the podium.
