It was the worst possible weather for the reel throwing competition at the Japanese National Stadium.

– I have been in the rain, but the rings have been coarse. This was the worst rink to be in the rain, comments the German who was left in the World Cup final without profit Henrik Janssen.

He defended the renowned reel throwing traditions in his home competition.

– I was in good shape. The warm -up went 66 meters. It was a feeling that I could throw 67-68 meters, but there was nothing left in my hand. I’m very disappointed.

The German tried a special gig. He took off his spike and pressed on the rink with a jogging slippers.

– There was more grip in sneakers. But the rink was so slippery that it wasn’t enough either.

Like ice

Janssen estimates that the rink watered by the rain was like ice.

– Everyone had some problems. I did not survive well, and there was no good throw. The biggest reason for my bad race was the slippery rink.

Did you think the competition was fair?

– Of course it was a fair race. The competition director asked us athletes, whether we wanted to compete today or whether the medals are not shared. Everyone decided to compete, the German replied.

– The circumstances were the same for everyone and others controlled them better than others. The 70 -meter throw in this circumstance was crazy, he added.

Daniel Ståhl In the final round, it wound up to gold with a score of 70.47 meters. It is the longest slice of the Lord’s 2025 season.

Mykolas Alekna In April, ME’s 75.56 was tossed in Oklahoma’s storms, but the result was several meters. Lithuanian has been a “ordinary mortal” in big stadium competitions. The Lord’s longest throw this season in stadium conditions where the wind does not help is 68.82 meters.

On Sunday in Tokyo, he won silver with a score of 67.84 meters. The Japanese National Stadium did not have any major windshields.
