Olympic champion Daniel Stahl won a dramatic World Championship discus gold with the final throw on Monday just minutes after Kristjan Ceh thought he had done enough to retain his title when his final throw edged him in front of the Swede.
"I thought, what the hell, now I'm going to answer directly," Stahl told reporters. "It was just to dig in for king and country I'm very proud of how I handled it. This was my best throw ever. It's very cool.
"It's like I got a bit of 'sisu' in me," he added, using a Finnish word for fighting spirit. "I'm not going to give up, instead I'm going to get bigger in the moments."
