– It is absolutely magical and you are proudly half-Finnish yourself and know the language and it is always fun to throw in Finland where there is always good pressure in the arenas, says Ståhl after his eleventh Finnish competition victory to SVT Sport.
The culmination of the high-quality series came in the fifth round. He threw in order: 65.91 – 66.46 – 68.21 – 67.05 – 69.03 – 68.46. The year’s best came in the season’s eleventh hour. He arrived in Helsinki at 3 pm on Saturday.
– It is long-awaited but also frustrating. I’ve been trying to find a good timing in the technique all summer but haven’t found it. The goal after the Olympics was to try to achieve a year’s best or a new pers in the competitions that remain of the season, not to brood but just to thunder on, says Ståhl, who was helped by a favorable wind.
Unexpected plus points in the branch
Ståhl’s annual best was 68.99 before today’s results at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.
Despite the fact that the Olympic runner-up from 2021 Simon Pettersson was not included, Sweden took a triple and 16–6. They went eight plus points against the calculation.
– This is the allure of Finnkampen. What happens on the track is something completely different from what is written on paper, says expert Alhaji Jeng.
