Kaunas “won” 1270 points in the Olympic rankings and should surpass the jumpers from the Bahamas, Mexico, Brazil and Puerto Rico in the ranking. Currently, the Lithuanian is ranked 31st, and 32 representatives of this party will go to the Games.
“It was a really different Lithuanian championship, a different competition from all the others I have had in my life. They meant a lot, they have a high category. I knew I needed to score as many points as possible to enter the Olympics. That emotion was, all the month of June very nervous. It is good that we have achieved it, perhaps not to the maximum, but close to the maximum “, – A. Glebauskas was happy with the result.
Whether the athlete will advance to their first Olympics in their career will be revealed next week when the planet ranking is updated. It is possible to comply with the rules and accumulate points until June 29.
“I always plan for the worst case, and based on today’s result I got more points. That should be enough, I don’t know,” smiled A. Glebauskas.
High scores were recorded in the discus throwing competition. He triumphed among men Andrius Gudžius, dropping the tool 67.21 m. True, the athlete made only four attempts and withdrew from the competition due to pain in his leg.
“The trauma is not serious, micro, but very recent. Irritability is, pain is, discomfort prevents launch. The same thing I want, but I throw a throw and my foot sticks in the middle. It’s risky so thanks to Michael for forcing me to show the result. We are not risking too much, we have to save for the Olympics. The result is very satisfied today, looking at the conditions, how I felt, everything is very good ”, commented A. Gudžius.
Second place went to the 18-year-old. Mykolas Alekna, dropping the tool even 63.52 m. He improved the 19-year-old Lithuanian record owned by A. Gujis. The European and World Champion wholeheartedly supported and encouraged the young colleague from the industry.
“Not only is the competition increasing, high ranking competitions are coming back to Lithuania. Michael will lift them higher and higher. The result of his age is extremely high, I am extremely happy and encourage the boy to try to develop his potential. So that I saw in today’s competition, this result is cosmic “, – A. Gudžius was happy with the progress of the future star.
Alekna’s sixth test flew past the 65-meter limit, but she obstructed the table showing the number on the side of the sector and was ignored. The Olympic standard is 66 meters.
“We are working with the coach, we are preparing. I expected the results to be good, but not so good. I thought I was shooting more than 60 meters, Alekna said. – 65 meters may be real, but a little too early. I just did two workouts with a 2kg puck, the first run. I’m not really trying to meet the Olympic standard, this year I have the world championship of my age group, the European championship, so I will focus on my weight tool. ” .
The road also flew by for women. I.Zarankaitė improved his personal best by dropping 62.08 m. By the way, today the pitcher mentions a kind of anniversary: a breakthrough in his career and a shower of records began on June 25 last year in Birštonas.
“I felt really good, of course, I wanted an Olympic standard. I am very excited, finally a personal record. It is difficult for me to resign all season, I feel pressure for the Olympics, for the norm. The psychological pressure is felt, of course, I charge it myself. In the end, the result is more similar to what I was preparing, ”said I.Zarankaitė.
For Utena, this result brought 1210 Olympic qualification points, and if the selection for the Tokyo Games were to end today, she would receive the last ticket. However, the national championships of other countries will take place on the weekend, so ours will need a successful start in the Vilnius Sports Club Cosma Cup competition on Tuesday. The Olympic standard is 63.50 cm.
“I’m very happy to have lost 62 meters today. It gives me the confidence that I can shoot even further. Another competition awaits us, we hope to get there as a rule or at least get as close to it as possible”, – I.Zarankaitė believes in the success.
S.Bertašius triumphed in the 1500m competition, having covered the distance in 3 minutes. 40.14 seconds and scored 1205 points in the savings account, which will improve the position in the qualifying ranking for the Tokyo Games. One of the biggest upsets of the championship came in the 400m match, where the first Lithuanian resident to live in Lithuania won a gold medal. Tomas Keršulis. The 19-year-old covered the distance in 47.79 seconds. and achieved the best result of the country season.
A.Šerkšnienė became the champion of the women’s analogue competition for the eighth time, running the distance in 52.86 seconds. By the way, after the European team championship held last weekend, the athlete was ill, but he could not afford to run out of luxury in the Lithuanian championships and lose the positions of the ranking.
“I think we managed (to recover – lengoji.lt) as much as possible. There were really doubts as to whether I could run today. And before that, the form was not impressive, OR now I’ll still be away for a week. It’s like the last chance to qualify, to improve your ranking in the Olympics, I thought, anyway, you should ignore negative events. I’m very happy, I think I did it today “, – A.Šerkšnienė was satisfied with the performance.
The athlete will continue to compete in Vilnius on Tuesday, but the chances of improving the average rating points are not high.
“I feel a low tide of emotions, but I will continue participating in the Cosma Cup, I will run 400 m. I want to do my best to be calm after that, ”A. Šerkšnienė smiled.
