- He has that margin, this whole season he has been 2-3 meters better than his competitors in most competitions. It is the margin he has earned that makes him win, despite one of the shortest races of the season. It would be so unfair after this season and with desilver medals he had (World Cup and European Championship) if he had not been able to take home the World Cup gold today.
Ståhl became Sweden's seventh world champion and first gold since 2013. And the favorite he had failed to lose.
- It's an incredible feat. It is an ungrateful situation to come in as a so-called favorite. It is easy to feel that you have everything to lose. To feel that anything but gold is a failure. Now he is the king of the discus world.
Compared to previous competitions, nobody got on something particularly long throw. But Ståhl was the only one to throw over 67 yards and he did it three times.
- An evening like this is the result secondary. It is the stability that underpins it. He has been so steady throughout the season and with the high low level it is enough for gold, says SVT's expert, Alhaji Jeng.
- The Superman has become the goldman, says Bergqvist.
