From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boris Obergföll (né Henry; born 14 December 1973) is a retired German track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw. He won a bronze medal in the World Championships twice (1995 and 2003). His personal best throw was 90.44 metres, set in July 1997.[1] This ranks him fifth among German javelin (new implement) throwers, behind Johannes Vetter, Thomas Röhler, Raymond Hecht and Andreas Hofmann.
He also competed in the javelin throw at the 1996 Summer Olympics (fifth place) and the 2000 Summer Olympics (seventh place). He was entered into the 2004 Summer Olympics but did not start the competition and retired thereafter.[2]
He represented SV Saar 05 Saarbrücken and was trained by Klaus Bartonietz. He is 193 cm (6 ft 4 in) tall and weighed 105 kilograms (231 lb) while he was competing. He is married to Christina Obergföll, whose surname he adopted upon marriage.[2][3][4]
