Eugene. Tonight, the discus final will be decided by two jumps for the Swedish medal.
But everyone agrees that something extra is needed to succeed.
It would be absolutely insane, say gold-nominated Christian C and Micholas Alkana to Sportbladet.
The entire season indicated that the World Cup final in discus was going to be something very special. Kristjan Ceh has grown into an already stable world launcher, young Micholas Alcana has achieved a rare breakthrough and Daniel Stoll She developed in the season and comes to the World Cup as the best player in the world this year.
The qualifiers in Eugene showed that the World Cup final could be something extra. In addition to the candidates, Simon Peterson suddenly joined the discussion with a giant throw of 68.11 and three other men were over the 66m direct qualifier. In fact, qualifying was the hardest ever in terms of the final score, Alex Rose 64.14.
There are so many in the g, it would take a very long time to get a medal, says Simon Peterson and supported by Micholas Alcana.
“Best Final in History”
– I think it would take 69 for the medal and maybe 1st would take more than 71 meters because these are very talented guys. You will be absolutely insane.
The best ever?
– Yes it can be. The wind is very good here too with an open circuit. It could be the best final in history.
Who do you see as a favourite?
– Myself!
Mästerskapsrekordet har Hans pappa, Virgilius Alekna på 70.17 från Helsingfors 2005.
Judging by Kristjan Ceh’s shape, he’ll smoke.
-68 was a good throw, but it’s a safety throw, he said after qualifying.
dream 70
If you do 68 meters in a safety throw, what does that tell you about the shape?
– The shape is very good haha! You will be absolutely insane.
Daniel Stahl is of course able to put in all that effort, but Simon Peterson is also beginning to believe in the dream streak.
I’d be lying if you didn’t hit my head on the way out of the playoffs. But it is very long and should work very well if it is going to work. Now I’m going to roll on the ball I was rolling, he says.
Is it worth setting the clock for everyone back home?
– Yes, we hope so, it will be worth doing!
