Athletic career

In 2014 he moved from Dresdner SC to national coach Boris Obergföll in Offenburg . He himself describes this as the decisive step in his career. Since then he has been throwing over 80 meters regularly.

In 2015 he achieved a new personal best of 85.40 meters in May and was runner-up at the German Championships in Wattenscheid with 83.12 meters. A little later he took seventh place at the World Championships in Beijing with 83.79 meters.

In 2016, Vetter exceeded the standard of 83.00 meters for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with 84.38 meters at the Whitsun Sports Festival in Rehlingen . On June 9, 2016, at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo, he set a new personal record as second behind Thomas Röhler with 87.11 meters, which he increased to 88.23 meters on June 25, 2016 in Kuortane (Finland). At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , he finished fourth with 85.32 meters; only six centimeters were missing from the bronze medal. On September 3, 2016, with the victory throw at the ISTAF Berlin with 89.57 meters , he surpassed his personal record by 1.34 meters, which put him in second place on the world's best list of the year and fourth on the "eternal" German list of best.

At the German Championships 2017 , Vetter won on July 9, 2017 with 89.35 meters ahead of Thomas Röhler (85.24 m). Just two days later, on July 11th in Lucerne , he set a new German record of 94.44 m, which Röhler only improved on May 5th, 2017. Except for Jan Železný , no javelin thrower achieved a greater distance with the javelin that has been in use since 1986.

World Champion 2017

At the 2017 World Championships in London , he threw a distance of 91.20 meters in qualifying and thus improved the qualifying record at the World Championships in Železný. In the final he won the gold medal with 89.89 meters thrown in the first attempt.
