Furtula in Bar broke the Montenegrin discus record

Montenegrin athlete Danijel Furtula won first place and broke the Montenegrin discus record at the 18th international meet in Bar.

He won with a throw of 60,33 meters.

This is nine centimeters better than the previous national record.

"I am satisfied with the result. I regret that my shot was not recognized in the second series when I threw the discus 62,08 meters. The discus ended up a few centimeters outside the sector and the judges did not recognize my result," Furtula told the MINA agency.

He pointed out that the result from Bar is a good announcement of a successful season and a confirmation that the Olympic standard is not unattainable.

"Successful start to the season. I hope to qualify for the European Championships in Helsinki and the Olympic Games in London, for which I need to throw the discus 62,90 and 63 meters," said Furtula.
