When 68 came up on the board, I was surprised, says a smiling Pettersson to SVT Sport.
Pettersson took everything he had and stayed in the ring and got to see the discus sail away.
He had thrown 65.94 as the best this season, which was mostly characterized by competitions of between 62 and 65 meters.
- I get goosebumps on my arms, exclaims SVT Sports expert Christian Olsson.
It was very good conditions with a light headwind.
- Absolutely unbelievable what a competitive person he is.
