Nool won the title after the competition referee decided to over-rule a discus judge who had red-flagged his last and only valid attempt due to alleged step-out. The reinstatement of his 43.66- Metre third throw sparked unsuccessful counter-protests from other teams. Nool took gold ahead of the Czech Roman Šebrle and American Chris Huffins . He was elected to the Estonian Parliament, '' Riigikogu '', on 4th March 2007 , representing the Union Of Pro Patria And Res Publica party Results from the 2007 parliament elections .
