International discus throwing competitions

Overview

In late August 2026, elite discus throwing competitions featured high-profile international athletes. Organizers in Vilnius, Lithuania, announced an upcoming event at Vingio Park Stadium scheduled for September 12, featuring world record holder Mykolas Alekna, Olympic champion Roje Stona, and European champion Kristjan Čehas. Organizers expressed hope that the competition might break a stadium record that has stood for over 20 years.

Shortly before the Vilnius event, Mykolas Alekna secured a victory at the Diamond League meeting in Chorzow, Poland. Alekna won the competition with a throw of 72.58 meters, marking the only performance in that event to exceed 70 meters. Kristjan Čeh took second place with 68.93 meters, followed by Daniel Ståhl in third with 68.25 meters.
