Cavelius shines but Tato Grigalashvili reigns in Paris
Unseeded German Tim Cavelius had an incredible day in Paris. He took out the Brazilian and then Del Orbe Cortorreal (DOM) before throwing Gauthier-Drapeau (CAN) twice for a place in the semi-final. Hurdling Djalo then put him in the final. The top half of the draw brought top favourite Tato Grigalashvili (GEO) and Vedat Albayrak (TUR) to their rightful places in the first semi-final. Kohara (JPN) had been cited as a possible stumbling block for the Georgian world number 1 but that was not the case.
