The discus star Mykolas Alekna had not lost a single competition until the European Championship in Rome.

In the final at the Olympic Stadium, he only came third.

Now comes the next blow for the 21-year-old from Lithuania: He will miss Sunday's GP competition in Sollentuna.

We received notice that he had some problem with his chest, says competition manager Ulf Saletti to Aftonbladet.

In the final, Alekna only reached 67.48 and could not match Kristjan Ceh, Slovenia, and Lukas Weissheidinger, Austria.

The discus will still be one of the competition's big numbers, as Ceh will face Swedish Daniel Ståhl.
