At the men's discus championship, Mykolas Alekna of Lithuania, the world record holder and a favorite in the event, has taken an early lead after the first round of throws. Alekna, aiming to follow in his father's footsteps who won gold in 2000 and 2004, launched his discus an impressive 68.55 meters, setting the pace for the competition.
