Doldes joins as coach
Daniel Stahl coach Vestin Hafsteinson is forced to stay home from the World Cup due to fatigue syndrome.
Then hidden ice Åke Ruus takes over as coach in Eugene – on vacation.
– Yes, they called and asked if they would fix me a credit, says 69-year-old Spåvägenledaren.
Åke Ruus has moved earlier and with great success, as a long-term leader in Daniel Stalls Tramway club.
Among other things at the Diamond League gala in Doha in 2019, when Ståhl was giving his best throw streak ever.
– Yes, there were three throws over 70 meters and 69.50 throws were the worst, says Åke.
– I usually work as an assistant, and I was more often when Daniel trained in Stockholm than he does today. But Festen would usually text during competitions if he followed her on TV and had a connection that way. Then I informed Daniel, Åke says.
cast 71.47
The last time he was there as a coach was during the SM team in Uppsala, when Daniel had the best performance of the year with 71.47.
– Yes, things went well in those times, but with good help at a distance from Vestin, he says.
How do you think this affects Daniel as well as Simon Peterson who was also trained by Festen?
– I think it shouldn’t affect too much. He sent Festen with their training program to camp in California and had Matthias Jones with them as class manager.
Åke Ruus participated in all Daniel Ståhl tournaments with his parents Janne and Taina. But then as a spectator.
old disc ejector
They are also reserved for Eugene, with the difference that Åke can jump and run for a few days.
He is the same old discus thrower and is currently on site to compete in the Veteran’s Toilet in Tampere, Finland.
This isn’t the first time Vestin Hafsteinson has felt the need to rest, which is something he’s been very open about.
It was the same in the summer of 2020, when it took a shorter time.
Then he told Sportbladet:
In the summer of 2016, I was hospitalized twice. Then I worked 66 days straight without even thinking about it. I have received strict orders from my doctor. Now I recognize the warning signs and know where the line is going.
So he chose to stay at home.
