Wednesday in the Zurich Diamond League Finals Four Jumps of Women’s High Jumping Nicola Olyslagers (204 centimeters), Jaroslava Mahutshih ‘ (202), Lake Morgan (200) and Julia Levtshenko (200) made particularly tough results.
Iltalehti’s athletics expert Arto Bryggare says that Wednesday’s results for women’s high jump and men’s long jump were eye -catching.
-There was a bumper under the Mondo platform. It is a little stronger material for plywood. This means that the flexibility and elasticity of the jumping platform are better than in stadiums, Bryggare says.
On Wednesday, Zurich competed in the village’s largest market in Sechsijutenplatz. Athletics venues were the results of temporary construction.
Athletics stadiums have concrete under the Mondo platform or similar coating. There was wood at the Zurich market.
-After the British Morgan Tokyo World Championship, you can explain why you didn’t jump two meters like Zurich.
In the men’s length, five Lords stretched more than eight meters and the top three were 824-832 centimeters in the fork. The global performance level of long jumps has been very far away this summer Mike Powell and Carl Lewis From the era, so Wednesday can be characterized as high quality.
– Of course, the same athletes are there too. I appreciate them because Tokyo competes in a completely different circumstance. And, of course, it may be that the World Cup creates naturally high levels, but in principle Wednesday’s results were partial eye-catching.

In the men’s pole vaulting place Armand ”Mondo” Duplantis It was 600 centimeters in a peaceful result.
-It was a bit showed that the Swedish match was below. Duplantis was not so fresh and was by no means a 630 stroke.
Second on Wednesday bent Greek Emmanoil karalis with the same result as his friend. Karalis had drops from the lower heights, so the victory went to Duplant.
– He also had a clean out. Running seemed hard and heavy.
Kovacs legal murder

American ballroom Joe Kovacs36, is the most famous of the Raatio Tokyo World Championships so far-an athlete who, according to his country’s selection criteria, cannot reach the culmination of the season.
– A brutal thing and a difficult place for the electorate, says Bryggare.
In the US qualifiers, the top three of each sport will receive a World Cup place if the profit level or ranking points defined by the International Athletics Association are sufficient. In men’s ball, they are true, as as many as 12 US men pass the screen. Kovacs, who had been recovering from my recovery, pushed 22.07 in the US World Championships in Eugena and was fourth.
– The United States can afford to sacrifice such friends. Of course, it would be more sensible to use consideration in the choice of value races, but many things that seem stupid in that country are based on legal cases.
If the US did not have a cross system, many places would probably be decided in the law.
Kovacs is experiencing a kind of legal murder as he won the Diamond League final with a score of 22.46 meters on Wednesday and earned a wild card in Tokyo, like other title athletes.
There may be up to four athletes per sport in one country in the World Cup. The ground quota is always three per kind, but a wild card can get a personal place.
The wild card of the world champion, who reigns to Kovacs, is a stronger hand than the winner of the Diamond League final.
In Budapest 2023 World Cup gold won the USA Ryan Crouser.
Crouser has not been able to compete this season. The previous start is from September 2024.
– I think Crouser should give evidence of his competitiveness, for example in practice. If he’s not okay, Kovacs should be invited to the World Cup, Bryggare comments.
