From crowd favorite to meeting ambassador: Björn Otto as co-host in the Lausitz Arena

Björn Otto and the Cottbus Jump-Meeting share a long-lasting friendship. He won the very first meeting on January 29, 2003, with a jump of 5.70m. For the athlete who would later clear 6.01m, it was a solid performance—but still one of his most cherished moments in Cottbus. "There are competitions where I always loved jumping and where I was warmly received by the audience. Cottbus is one of those special competitions where I could feel that unique atmosphere."
