Werloc 3,127 Posted May 9, 2021 #111 Share Posted May 9, 2021 LITHUANIAN NATIONAL RECORD ALERT Anyways, I decided to be a little bit fancy today with this extra presentation, but today Agnė Lukoševičiūtė broke her own hammer throw record by more than 5 metres. The new Lithuanian women's hammer throw record is now 66.09m and this was the first competition for Agnė after a long covid hiatus. It also got her a huge sum of Olympic qualification points and she is actually now on the radar of athletes that could have a chance at an Olympic quota and nobody really expected that it could happen this year, but if she keeps throwing around the 66 metre mark in a few other important competitions, she really has a good shot. Edit: also, forgot to mention that this was historically the weakest discipline for Lithuanian athletics of all time and could only have been compared to our pole vaulting. If we go back two-three years, the women's hammer throw record was below 50 metres. Braulio, Wumo and Makedonas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is the stadium? Considering some of the previous venues for the Team championships that seems a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
