Three-time world champion Daniel St\u00e5hl ensured there was at least one home winner at the BAUHAUS-galan on Sunday (7 June).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The giant Swede recorded just one valid throw, but his second-round effort of 69.60m proved unbeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also gave the hometown hero his first victory in Stockholm for five years. In a stacked field, Olympic bronze medallist Matthew Denny finished second with 69.02m, while European champion Kristjan \u010ceh of Slovenia was third with 67.67m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe discus world is crazy right now, with so many good athletes around me, and that gives me a boost,\u201d said former Olympic champion St\u00e5hl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is great to be here in Stockholm, where I was born and grew up. This is the best arena in the world. I have four global titles, so I feel no pressure at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI enjoy trying to do my best and throw as far as possible for Sweden. My focus is on improving and being ready for the European Championships in Birmingham. I will work on my technique. I had five crosses today and that\u2019s not good enough, really.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
