I am impressed—and I know no one who wouldn't be—considering that he achieved these results without anything remotely resembling professional training. Modern, scientifically guided training, sports nutrition, and footwear technology are so revolutionary that such results are bound to become increasingly common—which is precisely why the new qualifying standards for the 2027 World Championships are so rigorous. In Ruppert’s case, the result aligns perfectly with what was to be expected. Incidentally, neither of the two results meets the new qualifying standards for the 2027 World Championships—and that is the bitter truth.
By way of addition: Florian Bremm works for the Bavarian Police and has been part of the police's elite sports support program since 2023, which allows him to train professionally. Since then, he has been steadily improving.
