Sandra Perkovic did what no one has ever done

Sandra Perkovic won a silver medal at the World Championships in Eugene. With this medal, she became the first discus player in history with five medals at the world championships. She began her incredible streak in Moscow in 2013 by winning gold. Two years later, she was second in Beijing, and in 2017 she won another gold in London. This was followed by bronze in Doha 2019 and now silver in Eugene.

It is Sandra's 12th medal in major competitions. Let's add that the 32-year-old Perković also won two Olympic golds (2012, 2016), and has five European titles (2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018). Perković now has nine golds, two silvers, and a bronze from the Olympic Games and the World and European Championships.

Perkovic was second with a score of 68.45, which is her best shot this season. However, that was still not enough for the gold medal, which was somewhat surprisingly won by the Chinese Bin Feng with a shot of 69.12 meters.

The bronze was won by the Olympic winner from Tokyo, the American Valarie Allman with 68.30 m. The defending champion from Doha, the Cuban Yaime Perez, ended up seventh with 63.07, while Marija Tolj took eighth place, with 63.07.

First 10 in the history of gymnastic

When on July 19, 1976, at the Games in Montreal, tiny as she was, only 149 centimetres tall and weighing 38.5 kilograms, she jumped up to the two-height loom, no one in the world could have dreamed that this tiny 14-year-old girl would print in less than a minute history of sports.
