Stahl far from the top in Hungary

· updated

Sweden's discus giant Daniel Ståhl didn't get it together in Tuesday's Continental Tour Gold competition in Hungary.

The reigning Olympic champion stopped at a modest 63.36 – a result that only managed to secure a sixth place in the competition.

The winner was Mykolas Alekna, Lithuania, who threw his discus 70.20.

Since 2019, when Ståhl set a Swedish record with 71.86, he has been over 70 meters every season – until this year. His season's best came at the beginning of May when he threw 68.99.
