NOMINATION: MadeinVilnius.lt 2022 award
Today's nomination is the last. This year, the editors of MadeinVilnius.lt would like to award a man from Vilnius - the youngest champion in the world - in a special nomination.
Mykolas Alekna, who received the portal's special award, is the son of Virgilijus Alekna, who became a legend. In October, the twenty-year-old athlete became the rising star of European athletics for the second year in a row. This year, the track and field athlete won silver at the World Championship and gold at the European Championship.
On December 21, the 2022 Lithuanian sports awards were also held, where Mykolas Alekna received the title of the best athlete of the year.
M. Alekna was born in a family of athletes. His father is Virgilijus Alekna, Olympic discus champion. The athlete himself and his brother Martynas followed in their father's footsteps and began to specialize in discus throwing. Sister Gabriele is a long jumper.
MadeinVilnius.lt editors congratulate the athlete and wish him success in his future sports career.
