Mykolas Alekna Breaks Old World Record In Discus Throw With 74.35m In Oklahoma
That throw improved the world record of 74.08m set by Jurgen Schult in 1986 – 16 years before Alekna was born – and it formed part of a series of six 70m-plus throws by the 21-year-old on Sunday. The record will be ratified by World Athletics as per the usual procedure.
Competing on a weekend when discus throwers were blessed with perfect conditions, Alekna showed he meant business from the start, opening with 72.21m, according to a report on World Athletics' website. That improved on his Personal Best of 71.39m, which had moved him up to No.10 on the world all-time list on April 6, but still he looked frustrated.
