Kristjan Čeh is one of the rising stars in Athletics. He is the reigning World Champion, having won the gold medal in the men’s discuss throw at the World Championships 2022 held in Eugene, Oregon. With a championship record throw of 71.13 m, he got past Mykolas Alekna of Lithuania (69.27 m) to clinch his first individual major gold medal. He then continued his prime form by winning the silver medal at the European Athletics Championships held in Munich, a week later. He threw the discus to 68.28m to finish second to his World championship silver medalist opponent Mykolas Alekna. Mykolas ended up taking the gold this time, with a throw of 69.78, also a championship record.

Čeh received the success under the training of Gerd Kanter, an Olympic champion discus thrower from Estonia. Since February 2022, Kanter has been Čeh’s coach. His previous coach was Gorazd Rajher with who he parted ways right before the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Kristjan wanted to train with her girlfriend as according to him, it was comfortable and easier to train with Anna. But, his previous coach didn’t want it and considered that it would distract him from giving his best. Even, Anna wasn’t allowed to meet Čeh on a lot of occasions. She had even posted regarding the same on her social media platform.
