The final of the length in the World Open Athletics Championships ended unjustly for him Milto Tentoglouwho was injured and left out of medals.
One year in which Miltos Tentoglou was suffering from injuries, he was completed in a similar way, with the Greek champion … delivering his global “crown”.
A discomfort in the calf, during his second attempt at the final of the Tokyo World Championship, put an end to the two -year -old “gold” Olympic champion to defend the title he had won in Budapest in 2023. The Greek champion, who had started with a jump of 7.83m, tried his third attempt, but was obviously not pressing well, stayed at 7.67m. And it was limited to 11th place, losing the right to continue the final.
What happened in the final of Tentoglou
Miltos Tentoglou made his first attempt at the final, but did not do well, jumping at 7.83m at a time when Pomaski asked him to be more relaxed, the Jamaican put tremendous pressure on the competition with a first attempt at 8.33m.
The first round of attempts found Miltos Tentoglou in the 5th place. In his second attempt, the Greek Olympian took regularly, but … he cut in the middle of the corridor due to the habit of high in the calf, with his second jump canceled.
Falling in the 9th place after the second round of attempts were over, Miltos Tentoglou went for his third jump. But the Greek champion showed that he couldn’t. It didn’t ran enough in the hallway, it was slow and was “measured” at 7.67m. (ed. He didn’t get it invalid).
Beyond that, Miltos Tentoglou waited for whether he could have a fourth jump, but Leicester Lesai left him out of 10 with a jump of 7.97m.
Thus, the Greek champion took 11th place – and penultimate – in his final length.
