On May 2-3, the Lithuanian Throwing Championship took place in Palanga. There was no shortage of fierce battles, resounding victories and sensitive moments. Andrius Gud\u017eius, who triumphed in the adult discus throw sector, supported his eponymous son, who had a record performance in the junior championship, and the discus thrower Egl\u0117 Baranauskien\u0117 (formerly. Zarankait\u0117) hung a gold medal for the baby. At that time, the young country’s athletics stars took important steps towards the European Championships. <\/b><\/p>\n
From generation to generation<\/b><\/p>\n
Perhaps the most anticipated moment of the championships was the clash between A. Gud\u017eius and Martynas Alekna. This time, the track and field athletes, who are constantly making the name of Lithuania famous, went hand in hand in the sector, but in the end A. Gud\u017eius, who has more experience, triumphed. He flew the tool with the best attempt of 64.52 m, while M. Alekna, who won the silver at that time, was exactly 62 m. The third place was taken by Ma\u017evydas Paurys, who represented Lithuania in the Deaf Defolympic Games and won silver there \u2013 56.19 m. <\/span><\/p>\n For A. Gudis, the joy was double \u2013 his son Andrius participated in the junior competition (under 16 years old), where he achieved the best result of his career (41.50 m) and took third place. The young Gud\u017eius was second only to Matas \u017derlauskas (44.30 m) and Einoras Gen\u010dius (41.93 m). <\/p>\n
