Night from Saturday to Sunday JAV At the "Brutus Hamilton Invitational" competition, the star of the country's best discus thrower, Mykolos Aleknas, shone brightly. The 21-year-old athlete improved his personal record.
During the competition, the Lithuanian threw the discus with a best attempt of 71,39. This is not only the best result of this season in the world, but also M. Alekna's personal record.
With this fantastic throw, the country's record (for the furthest throw under at least 23 years old) also fell. It was also the tenth best shot of all time in the world.
M. Alekna recorded this performance in the third attempt, it is interesting that the Lithuanian's other successful throws were very close to the 70 m mark - 69,82 m, 68,24 m, 69,96 m.
The best ever performance in the country's discus throw still belongs to Mykolos' father Virgilij Alekna. The two-time Olympic champion threw the discus 25m almost 73,88 years ago.
We remind you that the best discus throwing result of all time belongs to the German Jurgen Schult. In 1986, he flashed the tool at 74,08 m.
At that time, the Olympic discus throw record belongs to V. Alekna. He threw the discus at 2004 at the 69,89 Athens Olympics.
