And to become the best of the best and set records requires a whole lot more.
But what are the chances of two athletes like that coming from a singlefamily?
Needless to say, this proved to be a greatmotivationfor the young athlete coming into the competition.
Even though the disc seemed a little wobbly, he managed to throw the discus a whopping 69.97 meters.
I felt I could do better.
Maybe you saw it yourself, it was not very good, the discus was shaky.
I thought I could do better, but I couldnt.
I had that record, as you said, for 20 minutes.
But the Lithuanian athlete wasnt disappointed by coming second.
I didnt win, Ill do it next time.
But to him, the sky is the limit, and he doesnt intend to stop here.
However, despite its lesser popularity, the discus throw and this nation are almost equally intertwined.
These numbers would be impressive for any country, especially one thats so small.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
But even with all these achievements around, this father-son duo doesnt become any less spectacular.
