2021 Men’s Discus World Rankings

Olympic champ Daniel Ståhl finished his season on a 17-meet winning streak. (GLADYS CHAI/ASVOM AGENCY)

REIGNING NO. 1 DANIEL STÅHL lost 2 of his first 3 meets (to fellow Swede Simon Pettersson) before regaining his form and winning 17 in a row. That included Olympic and DL Final wins, making him the clear choice for the top spot…

PETTERSSON CLAIMED the Tokyo silver, but with a 1-6 ledger against both Kristjan Čeh and Andrius Gudžius could claim no better than No. 4. And in turn Čeh was 6-1 against Gudžius to sort out the 2 & 3 positions…

SAM MATTIS WAS only 3rd in the OT, but was the best of the Americans in Tokyo, ending up as the U.S. No. 1 for the second Rankings in a row.
