Mantas Jusis, coach and organizer for Mykolo Aleknos, has expressed high expectations for the upcoming professional discus competition, “Domė,” scheduled to take place in Vilnius. Jusis noted that the field is expected to be highly competitive, citing the recent performances of athletes such as Mykolo Aleknos, Kristjan Čehas, and Rojė Stona, who have previously competed at major international events, including the European Championships in Birmingham and the Paris Olympics. The event aims to gather top talent from across Lithuania, encouraging significant fan attendance for this major athletic gathering.
While the desire of the title-winning discus throwers is described as modest, the competition promises a robust showcase of the sport. This year’s iteration of “Domė” will feature a professional format, attracting a strong roster of competitors. In addition to the established athletes—M.
Alekna, K. Čehas, and R. Stona—the event is set to host Martynas Alekna and the finalists from the discus throwing event of the recent European Athletics Championships.
The gathering represents a significant opportunity for elite discus athletes to compete in a concentrated setting. Organizers anticipate that the level of competition will be exceptionally high, drawing top-tier talent to Vilnius. The focus remains on providing a premier platform for Lithuanian discus throwers to compete and showcase their skills against seasoned international rivals.
