Arto Bryggare analyzes Monday’s main topics in Budapest.
Arto Bryggare was ecstatic late Monday evening Finnish time on the pipe shelf of the National Athletics Center stadium in Budapest.
– It was the discus throw competition of all time! Very nice, Iltalehti’s expert announced.
Daniel Ståhl hit a new World Cup record of 71.46 in the last round and took the second world championship of his career. The first came in Doha in 2019.
– Daniel is in great shape. Life’s hardest throw in calm weather. If there had been a storm, the puck would still be searched for.
Iltalehti’s visiting expert working in the Budapest Games Heike Drechsler-Bryggare reminded that the sport’s ME result was not derailed with wind help. of the GDR Jürgen Schult flew its flag in 1986 to 74.08.
– If Daniel’s result of 71.46 on Monday was not the world record in windless throwing, it was very close to it, commented Arto Bryggare.
Last season’s world champion came second Kristjan Ceh (70.02) from Slovenia and third from Lithuania Mykolas Alekna (68.85).
Never before in the history of the World Cup men’s discus throw have two different 70-meter jumpers been seen in the final.

Sha’Carri Richardson is the fastest woman in the world. Yankki swept the 100 meter gold with a time of 10.65.
– Before the semi-final, Richardson’s coach Dennis Mitchell swore to his protégé that under no circumstances would he take a false start. Richardson took the semi-final really confidently and then ended up on track nine in the final.
The USA’s winning result in the final is a new World Cup record and the fifth best result of all time in the world.
– A good start and a perfect run. There was nothing surprising about the race.
Jamaican women Shericka Jackson (10.72) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (10.77) took the other medals.
Many remember the flamboyant Richardson from his 2021 cannabis rant. The woman got drunk on drugs, got suspended and sidelined from the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
– A hugely talented guy who always comes out very strong at the end. He is a powder keg in many ways. There will be all kinds of statements and it might be anything. Now I was wearing a slightly more conservative game outfit and the pace was a bit more restrained.
IT is required

In the women’s pole vault Wilma Murto went on convincingly with a score of 465. Elina Lampela (450) and Saga Andersson (no result) qualified from Wednesday’s final competition.
– Wilma is on her way to the top. Elina is in the swing of her life, but this time it was a historically tough qualifier. The situation in Saga was pretty messed up. He panicked and couldn’t pull himself together after the first failure. Technically, the jumps were extremely weak, Bryggare says.
Viivi Lehikoinen advanced to the semifinals in the women’s 400-meter hurdles. The HIFK athlete clocked the fourth best result of his career in Monday’s heat (54.65).
– Viivi has to pull a good new SE on Tuesday to get to the final. Is it possible.
Lehikoinen’s SE from this summer is 54.40.
