The quarantine did not hamper preparation for the season; Such a conclusion can be made after the end of the first day of the Lithuanian Athletics Championships which takes place in Palanga. In almost all competitions, the winners performed better than last year: 14 of the 16 champions did so in individual competitions.
World and European champion Andrius Gudžius the disk shone 68.16 m. The track and field are open: with the current sport form, the tool could fly beyond 70 meters, but weather conditions hampered it.
“The plan was at least 68 meters, the wishes were 70. But I threw well, the throws were” in 70 “for everyone. After the furthest distance, I spread my arms because I felt I should be like in training: 70 meters. But today’s wind is such that it reminds 2-3 meters. From 60 meters like a pit, the puck fell, it seemed that there was no air even there. In total, three shots for 67 meters. I left good things in the baggage of experience “, – A. Gudžius was satisfied with the performance.
Starting next week, the best Lithuanian athlete of 2017 and 2018 will start the cycle of international competitions. It is true that the pitcher does not even know which opponents he will have to test his strength with this year.
“I don’t know who will be involved. We will see everything when we go to the site, because the situation changes in hours,” said A. Gudžius.
One of the greatest decorations of the competition was the performance of Gediminas Truskauskas in the 100-meter match. The sprinter covered the distance in 10.37 seconds. and achieved the fourth best electronic result in the history of Lithuania.
“We did tests a week ago, they showed that everything was fine. Today’s conditions were ideal so I was 100 percent sure before the race. The goal, as always, was to reach a personal record, but I did not expect to escape from 10.40 seconds, ”said G.Truskauskas, happy with the result.
So far, the 2018 European Championship participant has excelled in the 200-meter race, while in the shorter half he has made a more significant leap this year.
“I would not say that 100 and 200 m are very different. This year, maybe the speed has increased more, we work more for power and tomorrow we will see 200 m,” said G.Truskauskas.
Simas Bertašius, who improved the season’s result by up to seven seconds, set the Lithuanian record. The finalist of the European Championship ran a distance of 1500 m in 3 minutes. 40.34 sec.
“I really appreciate it very much, it’s fun that it was in the Lithuanian championship where that time was demonstrated. Before the season, when we were still waiting for the Olympics, we planned a good moment in the Lithuanian championship, that was the goal, as if it was a rehearsal, ”said S. Bertašius, who became the champion of the 1500m competition for the fifth time in a row.
One lap from the end, the hope of reaching the national record is still running: 3 minutes. 39.01 sec.
“When the last lap was left, I saw that there was still strength left. I had to get over that lap in about 56 seconds, and I got over it in 57. Those seconds were a little less than the Lithuanian record. But with strong competition in the last round, if you had to fight someone, it would be realistic to set a record, ”S. Bertašius believes on his own.
The women’s 400-meter match caused a stir in Modesta Morauskaitė and Agnė Šerkšnienė. After 52.29 seconds, the latter won the title of Lithuanian champion.
“I am very happy, I did not expect such a good result. My best sport form, when I improved the Lithuanian records, I won the championship with berods 52.03 seconds, now I was close to that. Everything fell into place as it did and I am very happy, ”said A.Šerkšnienė with a smile.
In the middle of the distance, M.Morauskaitė led, but in the end, the country’s record holder A.Šerkšnienė, who recovered from injury, was much stronger.
“I tried to do it as technically as it occurred to me. The start was downwind, then upwind, so I tried not to waste too much effort. I had a plan to finish about 130-150 meters away, and I tried to do it, not to listen to which side the competitors were approaching and just to concentrate on running, ”commented A.Šerkšnienė.
Disc jockey Ieva Zarankaitė defended the Lithuanian champion title with a solid result. It is true that this was the first race of the season in which the athlete did not improve his personal record. Your result is 60.99 m.
“Getting used to the good, I wanted to improve my personal result again, but I am happy with my performance – 61 meters, everything is very good,” said I.Zarankaitė. – The weather is really good, maybe you wanted that wind. Yesterday there was a good wind in training and we hoped it would last today. What was the result during training yesterday? More than 60 m (laughs). I don’t know exactly, because we didn’t measure, but it was definitely over 62 meters. “
Lithuanian climbers recorded impressive results. In the 10,000m race, Ignas Brasevičius became the first Lithuanian to cover the distance in less than half an hour, 29 minutes. 53.81 sec. Meanwhile, Vaida Žūsinaitė, who won a similar match between women, achieved the tenth result in the country’s history: 34 min. 40.86 seconds
On the second day of the championship, spear throwers Edis Matusevičius and Liveta Jasiūnaitė will compete, triathletes Diana Zagainova and Dovilė Kilty, I. Zarankaitė will push the ball and G.Truskauskas will run 200 m.
