Werloc 3,127 Posted July 9, 2020 #151 Share Posted July 9, 2020 On the first day of athletics championships in Klaipėda, there were some good results in the discus throw. Andrius Gudžius with the 4th season best throw in the world, the result - 68.68m Another two men threw a 60+ And lastly, the Lithuanian U18 Discus Throw (1.75kg) record was broken by Mykolas Alekna with a throw of 60.57m The second day of events has started just now, so I'll see if there was anything interesting when the results are up.

Vojthas 947 Posted July 9, 2020 #153 Share Posted July 9, 2020 In the studio of Polish TV the high jump competition is being held. It's commentated by a former decathlete Sebastian Chmara and a former modern pentathlete Jarosław Idzi. What's interesting - one of the athletes is Paweł Wiesiołek, now decathlete, whose wife used to train... modern pentathlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 782 Posted July 9, 2020 #154 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Does anyone else think that the ban of Naser might have a huge influence on Miller-Uibo‘s decision on whether to go for the double next year or not? I think with Naser gone she should definitely go for the double. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
