Eugene. Daniel Stahl and Simon Peterson missed the podium in a very exciting discus final.
Daniel Ståhl earned a bronze throw awarded after a video review.
– I was a little shocked, it was so bad of me and a disgrace. I was on my way, but then lost focus, Daniel Stoll tells SVT.
Even before the final, everyone agreed that it would be the discus final of all time.
And it did so despite almost completely windless conditions. Perhaps when it comes to top class, amplitude and drama.
After a somewhat hesitant run, I caught myself in the second round when Christian See threw 69.02. Daniel Stoll He was knocked out in the third round and returned with a giant throw of 69.16.
On the SVT camera, coach Vestin Hafsteinson greeted.
– Coach, it feels good. I was a little optimistic but now we’re driving!
“I think he’s already won.”
Instead, the shower became cold. After video review of the throw, it was disqualified because the judges considered Ståhl to have been on the edge of the ring with his heel when he turned. Instead, he stood at 66.59 from the second round and fifth behind Simon Peterson.
Immediately after that message came the following shock. Kristjan Ceh kicked out a 2kg plate as much as 71.13. Tournament record and clear management.
“I think he’s already won now,” said SVT coach Gerd Kanter.
He was right.
Behind that, teenager Mikolas Alcana increased to 69.27 and before the last two rounds Daniel Stahl needed to throw 67.55 for a medal. He increased to 67.10 in fifth and overtook Simon Peterson, but the final round stopped at 66.86 and the Swedes finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Thus, Lithuania was twice on the podium behind the completely superior Christian See.
After the competitions, the Swedish team decided not to file a counter-objection.
– Kajsa was in the video room and saw the cast and was clearly a tramp, says acting coach Åke Ruus.
