Johannes Vetter calls it a season.
View this post on Instagram

What a crazy season that was... 10 competitions in just 7 weeks. It all started in Zweibrücken with 3 fouls and small injury, followed by 9 back to back wins, and ended with the 4th straight win at the ISTAF Berlin. 5 Throws in 3 different meets landed past the magical 90m mark. Highlighted by the incredible 97,76m throw, wich was just shy of the world record. I am very thankful for the following people who made this season one for the books: my coach, Boris Obergföll, my medical team, my family, my friends, my sponsors, and every single one of you who supported me along the way. Now, I am excited to enjoy this off season and give my body some rest - it desperately needs it! - before the hard work starts all over again so that I can achieve my next goals! □□□□ #VetterWurf #VettesDankeschön #VetteSaison #VetterUrlaub @bundeswehr @herrenknechtag @ursapharm.engagement @nike @mypro_plus @sporthilfe @stadtoffenburg @btr_profisport @dlv_online □ ISTAF/Camera4

Say it, Naomi.

All the people that were telling me to “keep politics out of sports”, (which it wasn’t political at all), really inspired me to win. You better believe I’m gonna try to be on your tv for as long as possible.
