The three longest throws in SC history were recorded when Simon Pettersson won gold in Norrköping.
In total, Ståhl and Pettersson offered no less than seven throws over 68 meters.
Then the national team captain Kajsa Bergqvist was almost speechless.
- I don't know what to say... So damn cool!
That Simon gets to make his first throw over 70 meters... Such a display, she exclaimed on the SVT Sports microfton shortly after the competition, and continued:
- The only thing I can compare it to is when Linus Thörnblad came second at the indoor WC in 2.38, after Stefan Holm (in the high jump, editor's note).
It is absolutely incomparable that we have two such world stars in the discus.
I'm looking forward to the EC now!
