In Palanga, he will compete with other top Lithuanian discus throwers – Andrius Gudžius, Martynas Alekna, so spectators will have the opportunity to see top-level performances.
When Mykolas Alekna suffered a severe injury during training in March and his chest muscle tore, it was estimated that his return to major sports would take place after six months or even later. However, after just three months, Mykolas Alekna made an impressive comeback to the athletics sector and threw the discus 70 m 50 cm in a competition in Estonia. Soon after, the Lithuanian triumphed at the prestigious Diamond League stage in Eugene (USA) with an even more impressive result – 71 m 6 cm.
“Such a quick recovery was due to the fact that I decided to return to Lithuania immediately after the injury and start rehabilitation here. I devoted a lot of attention to rehabilitation, working on it for several hours every day. I also worked a lot with coach Mantas Jusius. Because of this, I managed to quickly return to the highest level,” said Mykolas Alekna.
Mykolas Alekna became the Lithuanian champion in Palanga last year with an impressive result – 72 m 15 cm.
“Since I can already train and no longer feel the effects of the injury, I always want to compete at least once a year in Lithuania. It is always fun to participate in the national championship because it takes place in Palanga, where many people gather and there is great support. Moreover, there are also good conditions here to achieve good results,” emphasized Mykolas Alekna. “This will be a great test before the European Championship, but of course, I want to win because there will be competition in Palanga.”
