    die Tür aufreißen

    Context/ examples
    "Er sprang zur Tür und riss sie auf um zu sehen, was sich dahinter verbirgt."

    'to open the door' ist nicht aussagekräftig genug. Wie kann man am besten ausdrücken, dass die Tür schnell und rückartig geöffnet wurde? Gibt es dafür wie im Deutschen ein spezielles Verb?

    Werner's and Gloria's solutions are both possible, but in my experience the usual expression is "threw open".
