Kristjan Ceh scores a sweet victory in the fourth straight debate in the Diamond League.
Additionally, Daniel Stahl was defeated by 19-year-old shooting star Mikulas Alkna in Stockholm.
– It’s not good, I wanted so much today, says Ståhl.
Daniel Stoll He had a tough start to the Diamond League competition at Stockholm Stadium on Thursday night.
It took until the fifth throw before the Swedish star reached a fairly long throw and flew the disc 67.57 metres. Prior to that, giant talent Mikulas Alkna of Lithuania had thrown 69.81 metres, and this spring’s dominant Christian C scored 70.02 on his fifth attempt.
None of the three hopefuls got a monster win in the final round and Daniel Stahl had to settle for third.
– He’s been the hit man for several years now but now there are some guys knocking on the door. We’ll see if he can keep them behind or if there will be a new king on the throne, says expert Christian Olsson at SVT.
Ståhl’s disappointment: “Careless”
Daniel Stahl loved the first attempt on Thursday night, which unfortunately went straight into the net.
– The first throw was good pressure, and it’s a pity I didn’t get anything. After that I started losing the rhythm a little bit. Then I still got it decently with a score of 67.57 until I made it into the top three. But it’s not good, I wanted so much today, and I got so excited, says Daniel Stahl.
He doesn’t think the competition at home has led to much tension.
– No, but I felt like I had something going on, but I was a little anxious. He is neglectful of me. But the sun rises tomorrow and there is competition on Sunday (in Karlstad) again. So it’s just driving.
Daniel Stahl still has the longest throw in the world this year. At the SM team in Uppsala last week, he threw 71.47 metres.
