The throwing championship in discus, javelin, hammer and shot put was held in the city of Korça.
Despite the fact that they are not mass sports, it seems that year after year the number of young people who turn to these sports is being reduced, as is also observed in this championship.
The coach of the Tirana team for girls indicates that these sports are on the verge of extinction and for this she lists several reasons, among which the lack of infrastructure but also of appropriate policies.
Dhimitri Jorgos, record holder and Balkan champion in the discus throw, even though he is 60 years old, today has very few competitors. He shows that young people lack passion for such sports.
Without competition and favorable conditions, athletics and various disciplines risk not being practiced in our country anymore.
