Gediminas Truskauskas is successfully following in the footsteps of the greatest Lithuanian sprinter of all time, Rytis Sakalauskas. The 22-year-old athlete ran 200m in 20.83 seconds, reaching the country’s record below 23 years and the second result in the country’s history overall. No one has ever run faster than G.Truskauskas in the Lithuanian championships.
R. Sakalauskas’s record is better by just 0.09 seconds.
“After today’s start, I really believe that Lithuania’s record is achievable. All it takes is the wonderful conditions that exist today. After yesterday’s start, I thought it would be a bit more difficult to break that 21-second limit. , but it is even possible, “commented G.Truskauskas.
The sprinter triumphed yesterday in the middle distance, covering 100 m in 10.37 seconds.
“After yesterday there was an emotional breakdown and I left everything with energy, I think it turned out to be the result. But today I still discovered that beginning, because the result in the 100m match added motivation, which pushed me to break a personal record and a second result in all of history, ”said the student from Martas Skrabulis happily.
Another championship record was set in the women’s triathlon. Dovilė Kilty triumphed there, even jumping three times outside the 14-meter limit. His most successful attempt was the sixth: 14.18 m.
“I wanted to defend the title of champion, I won it in 2019, in 2020, I hope to multiply the titles even more. Kind of sad I haven’t seen my coach in the UK since February, I worked remotely. I have been in Lithuania for the last two weeks because I have seen the situation in the world due to a pandemic. Janina Tribienė has a lot of patience with me, everything was in its place, we just had to put together the details, so we waited 14 meters today ”, summarized D. Kilty the performance.
By the way, both she and Diana Zagainova will be participating in the Diamond League competition in Monaco in a week.
“I want to do my best, I will try to improve on today’s result. The simple fact of being invited to the Diamond League shows a lot. I have the opportunity to test with the best triathletes before the Olympics next year,” said D. Kilty happy with the invitation.
The country’s record holder, D.Zagainova, jumped 13.61m in Palanga, while Vaida Padimanskaitė, who mentioned her 20th birthday yesterday, recorded an excellent result, sixth in Lithuanian history: 13.58m.
Edis Matusevičius adjusted the best result of the season in six meters. The caster flew the tool 81.38 m on the most successful first attempt.
“Clearly, I’m glad I finally lost 80 meters. Anyway, we want more all the time, we’ll see if we can throw more in the next race. What led to a better result today? We came to camp here in Palanga and won something. of money. I coped with the technique, I got stronger, that’s how it all came together. Palanga is a nice sector and very convenient for me. Always friendly, always warm, always supportive. It’s fun to train here, both through of them as in competitions, the spear runs better ”, explained E. Matusevičius.
Liveta Jasiūnaitė also performed successfully in a similar female competition. The athlete flashed his spear for 60.27 m and achieved the best result of the Lithuanian season.
“I was really good today, we just had to deal with it. And the main reason it was so difficult to do was the heat. Anyway, everything is fine, I hope the results are better in the next outing, because the Workouts also show that everything is improving, – said L.Jasiūnaitė. – One more commercial start and competition awaits in Ogre. I hope to traditionally improve my personal record there, because last year I lost 2 centimeters from the Olympic norm, so I will return ” .
The championship was ended by the multi-fighters who started it. Beatričė Juškevičiūtė (5687 points), who recorded the seventh result in the country’s history, won the seventh fight, and Edgaras Benkunskas (7643 points), who achieved a personal record.
“It is a great honor to start and finish the championship, which are still the priorities of our country. I am happy with the result of the 100m race because I reached a personal record, I was very happy with the jump record, which I was able to achieve a long time ago. In the 400m race I also improved my personality, but not as much as I wanted. And today, the barriers made me happy, the solid result of the bitter and the spear throw improved compared to last year “, he said E. Benkunskas.
The rising decathlon star finished eighth at last year’s European Under-23 Championship, despite rivals a year or two older than him. E.Benkunskas does not hide that with more competition and higher ranking competitions, the result could be much better.
“I think I can already get into the top five Lithuanian multiple fighters of all time. The number of participants, more competition, would have meant that I would have reached the norm for this year’s European Championship, which is equal to 7850 points. But due to the pandemic, there were no more competitions, training sessions, camps, some sectors were closed. Like me, a multiple fighter, it was a disaster. I am satisfied with the result, I have competed with myself and until today the result has made me happy, ”said E. Benkunskas.
Most of the leaders of the national team will participate in the Baltic Championship in Ogre, Latvia from 14 to 15 August.
