Result Notes
- The official final classification records Dowdle with 94 completed yards and El Osrouti with 93 after El Osrouti did not finish yard 94.
- The source abbreviates El Osrouti’s display name to ‘Ello’. This summary uses the fuller athlete name established by federation and club records.
- Dowdle’s 94 yards are the best-known backyard performance achieved on German soil, moving beyond Merijn Geerts’ 90-yard result in Rettert in 2022.
- Bolte’s 52 yards and Hubert Karl’s 45 yards in M65 are described as provisional German records until the relevant record databases add and classify the race.
