Few others have felt as much about the Swedish athletics sky as Ståhl. The man from Jakobsberg in Stockholm has joined the big scene. But the oldest medal is missing. The last World Cup ended with silver and now it is the position for revenge.
- He has had an incredible season and the preparations could not have been so much better. He is relatively young as a discus thrower and it will be incredibly exciting to see him in the final, says Alhaji Jeng.
The question is what Ståhl has taken with him after the second place at the last World Cup where many thought he would win.
- It was snowing that he was second. I hope to see that lighter tonight. It was not optimal in the qualifier (overtramp in the first, red note) and yet he solves it with bravur. He has so many long, nice throws in his luggage and that's what it takes in championships even though it doesn't always feel 110, says Alhaji Jeng.
