World Athletics Championships: Kristjan Ceh dethrones Sweden's Daniel Stahl to win world discus title
Olympic champion and 2019 winner Stahl very briefly held the lead with a 66.59-metre opener but was quickly overtaken by Lithuanian duo Mykolas Alekna and Andrius Gudzius, improving to 67.10 on his fifth try but never getting himself back into medal contention. The 23-year-old Ceh sent roars through Hayward Field as he rocketed a 71.13-metre third attempt across the lawn in Eugene, Oregon, clinching the top of podium in a championship record. "It was a fast circle here but everybody has the same conditions and you just need to trust yourself," he said.
