At an athletics meeting at Rüdlingen/Switzerland, a massive hammer-throw by the Rumanian Mihaela Milente was measured at 76.07 metres by a Leica TCA 1103 total station. This distance established a new world record for this year’s world champion hammer-thrower, who had been in action just a week earlier at Seville (photo).
After rough sighting of the hammer’s landing point, the Leica TCA 1103 automatically took care of the fine aiming and measurement. Leica measuring instruments are features not just of major construction sites and Olympic events, they are increasingly present at specialised and regional meetings like the "Weltklasse am Rhein" in the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
