Lithuanian discus thrower Mykolas Alekna, 21, won silver in Paris, following in his father Virgilijus’ footsteps. He qualified for final with a 67.47-meter throw and broke his father’s Olympic record with 69.89 meters. As the world record holder (74.35 meters), Mykolas is set to continue his family’s legacy.
