Ståhl started with two invalid throws and looked - for understandable reasons - not very pleased. In the third round, the 27-year-old managed to get an approved throw, 64.92. And in the fifth, he rose to 65.92.
Simon Pettersson - who set a personal record of 66.93 meters at a competition in Växjö in April - continued to show fine form in the competition at Bislett. The 26-year-old had several good throws, the longest landing at 64.54.
