And this happened overnight




Competing at the Oklahoma Throws Series World Invitational on Sunday, at a venue with favourable tailwinds, Denny, an Olympic bronze medallist, hurled the disc a mammoth 74.78m

That passed the mark of 74.35m set by Lithuanian powerhouse Mykolas Alekna at the same event last year, a throw which broke a world record which stood since 1986.

But Queenslander Denny didn’t have long to revel in his own stunning achievement as 22-year-old Alekna, an Olympic silver medallists, pulled out two more monster throws.

He passed Denny with a throw of 74.89m first-up, then pushed the world record out even further by throwing 75.56m in the fourth round.

This angle is insane...

Could be a few people stiff to miss out looking at this. Good to see so much competition for spots though...
