At the award ceremony, Ilg zu Mamiński placed himself on the second step of the podium, the step intended for the European champion remained free in honor of Malinowski, who died in an accident in autumn 1981. A year later, in the final of the first World Athletics Championships , a group of three had pulled away from the field on the last lap. The US-American Henry Marsh led after the last moat in front of Ilg and Mamiński, but fell on the last obstacle and only came in eighth.
