The difference between gold and silver in the Discus Throw was hardly 3 centimeter. The 26 year old Andrius Gudzius from Lithuania threw his discus 69,21m, just a little bit ahead of Daniel Stahl from sweden (69,19m) and won the gold. The bronze medal went to Mason Finley from the USA who set a new personal best of 68,03m.
Reigning World Champion Piotr Malachowski finished only in 5th place with a 65,24m effort, just ahead of German Robert Harting (65,10m).
The Diamond League Final offers a rematch between Stahl and Gudzius who will both compete on Sep. 1st in Brussels.
