There are scandal ingredients in the Tokyo World Cup long jump and three-leaping place.
– Spear -looking. If you continue that way, there will be legal murders, download Iltalehti’s athletics expert Arto Bryggare.
Particularly on Wednesday in the men’s long jumping finals, the downplay was tremendously uneven.
– Last time I saw a similar at the London Olympics in 2012. At that time, the athletes were shocked.
According to the expert, there is a high risk in the Tokyo World Cup that there are errors in the measurements. Therefore, he uses the term “legal murder”.
“In theory, it is quite possible that the measurement result is incorrect when the downpayer is so uneven,” Bryggare says.
In the World Championships in the long jump and triple jump, athletes are measured by cameras and computer program. 3D cameras transmit the footage to a computer program that defines the measurement of performance.
– Apparently, there were no mistakes in the men’s length on Wednesday because there were no protests.
By muscle forces

In Tokyo, the slope, or sandbox, is serviced by muscle forces after each performance.
On Wednesday, problems could be caused by a very humid weather. The humidity rate was above 80 %, so the sand of the downplay was heavier than usual.
– There are many different ways to make the lower position of the muscular force even. The performance of the officials on Wednesday in Tokyo was really miserable.
The hurry should not be explained by weak sandbox maintenance.
– There is plenty of work to do when, after each jump, after each jump, you have to make the downplay. If you do not have enough experience and the tools are not top notch, the mother will be missed.
The machine would help
The sandbox was also uneven in the women’s longitudinal final on September 14th. Pictured is aagate de Soussa. Aop
At the turn of the millennium, the athletics competitions featured a Finnish -made device that leveled a downstairs.
– Awesome device. For example, I remember the Sydney Olympics when the downplay was quite even. The device looked and smoothed the sand. Using the device required only one person.
In recent years, the sand smoothing device has not been used at least in the value races.
– It may be that it is a cost issue, Bryggare says.
At the Tokyo World Championships, the sandbox will land on Thursday in the women’s triple jump finals, Friday in the men’s triple jump finals and Saturday in seven matches and in the tenth.
– The officials are forced to scratch and get the downward place even. I argue that on Wednesday, the men’s hearing was avoided by a sheer sack.
In the World Championships, 3D cameras transmit an image to a computer program that defines the athlete’s performance. Man monitors the use of the device. If necessary, the measurement result provided by the machine can be questioned and measured based on the images. Picture of the Eugene World Cup for 2022. Pasi Liesimaa
