Mykolas Alekna on his World Record performance and the Road to Paris
from The Paulie Throws Podcast · host CITIUS MAG
At only 21-years-old, Mykolas Alekna is already the world record holder in the men's discus. In 2022 he became the youngest-ever World Championship medalist in the event and later became the youngest European Champion in history. I got the chance to catch up with him to talk about his record-setting day in Oklahoma, what it's like to come from maybe the best discus-throwing family in the world, and how he's getting ready for his Olympic debut this summer.
