World Champion Valarie Sion 🇺🇸 won the women's Discus Throw at the Stockholm Diamond League with a best effort of 68.60m!
Jorinde van Klinken 🇳🇱 was 2nd with 66.57m, ahead of Laulaga Tausaga 🇺🇸 who threw 65.89m.
Valarie Sion is to the discus what Mondo Duplantis is to the pole vault. Sion has focused on her technique and focus with Coach Zebulon Sion, and they are pushing the level of perfection in discus throwing. The high quality of the event is such that, among all 13 events at the Diamond League meetings, we may not give Valarie the respect her performances deserve. My humble suggestion? Go on @Flotrack and watch the throws special coverage.
"I want to honour my new name"
Valerie Sion may be competing with a new surname, but she is aiming for the same big performances!

.@vallman123 wins the Xiamen DL with 68.45m - 3m farther than second place!
The disc comes out of her hand more pure than any thrower I've ever seen. It's the equivalent of a QB throwing a perfect spiral. Some have it, some don't.
BREAKING THAT BARRIER 🚧
@vallman123 unleashes a massive 73.10m in the discus to take the win in Ramona 🤯
