Iran’s Rasouli wins discus gold in Asian Throwing Championships
Iran’s Hossein Rasouli claimed the men’s discus throw gold at the Asian Throwing Championships in South Korea.
A gold medalist in last year’s Asian Games, Rasouli registered a best throw of 59.05m for the ultimate prize, finishing above athletes from Qatar and China.
Rasouli had tallied 62.04m when he beat fellow-Iranian Ehsan Haddadi – a former Olympic silver medalist – to the top spot in Hanghzhou last October, bringing an end to the legendary thrower’s 17-year dominance in the continental showdown.
