The typical Zarankaitė experience, where you throw 58-60 metres in Lithuania and Latvia, and then 55-56 metres everywhere else

disappointing  she's competing with the best result on paper, but always struggles to showcase outside of home turf... I mean, Poland is not that far away, I was hoping it was close enough for good result

I don't know how to feel about her now though, after her sister was pumping gas into multiple cars with tax payer money, I can only imagine that it's likely she and her mother also benefited from that and used it to freely drive around to every Lithuanian competition. 

 

Although it is speculation that Ieva could have benefited from that, I still didn't like her that much, because she was always one of those athletes that talked very loudly in interviews, but never showed up at any important competition.

Just noticed that they removed Serbian third jump in triple jump, finishing with no mark, lol
