Roje Stona wins discus gold in Olympic record

Roje Stona on Wednesday created history in winning Jamaica’s first gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Competing in the men’s discuss final, the former St. Jago and Rusea’s High standout secured the gold in record breaking fashion as he threw an Olympic mark of 70.00m on his fourth attempt.

Lithuania’s world record holder Mykolas Alekna took silver with 69.97 metres.

Australia’s Matthew Denny, previously an Olympic and world fourth-place finisher, claimed bronze (69.31m).

Alekna had broken the Olympic record with his best mark on his second effort.

But plans to emulate his father Virgilijus, who won two Olympic titles in 2000 and 2004, were scotched by the Jamaican.

Stona, coached by American Ryan Crouser who won an unprecedented third consecutive shot put gold on Saturday, stole the show when he went out to the 70-metre mark on his fourth attempt.
