Magdeburg, Germany, September 17–18, 1925
In Magdeburg, the season's fastest sprint was witnessed. Nine-time German champion Hubert Houben and Amsterdam Olympics 400m bronze medalist Joachim Büchner crossed the finish line almost neck and neck. The time achieved by both, 10.5 seconds, equaled the world leading time, disregarding Jackson Scholz's somewhat questionable 10.4 from May.
The thrill of speed continued in the 200, when Houben and Büchner again rushed neck and neck towards the finish line. This time, both were clocked at 21.6, placing them in a tie for fourth in the world rankings.
