Yup, 21 year old Mykolas Alekna just set a new WR in the Discus Throw  

 

Don't know how to feel about this, would've been more special in a different location probably

Yeah, the lack of actual grand stands makes this "stadium" look quite unique. I wonder if it suddenly becomes the new go-to-place for throwers

Yeah, it will be very hard to achieve this result in any modern stadium where the grandstand seats or the roof make the wind less effective in throwing events to say the very least. And nobody builds a stadium with one end completely open anymore either.

Finally discus throw world record belongs to one of Alekna's! If it's not for doped Schult, Virgilijus would had  WR for last 20 years, but I'm glad his son finally will remove Schult out of record books and keep it in the family
