Athletics World Cup 2022: Kristian Pulli melted in the qualification

Kristian Pulli had a modest score of 756 in excellent conditions.

– The same this time. It was really empty in the head and feet. My body didn’t feel like my own.

That’s your sum Kristian Pulli after the length qualification. As an SE man, I ended up with a modest score of 756 in excellent conditions.

– You can look for explanations. A very good practice was behind us three days ago, but it was not visible this time.

Even on Wednesday, at the press conference of the Finnish team, the Finn threatened self-confidence.

– There must have been a misjudgment. Should have done the last exercise even lighter. Feeling tired now. Time difference stress is probably a big factor. I have been in the United States for seven days.

The disappointed Finn had time to chew on his failure at the performance venue. He jumped first in his qualifying group, so he had to wait until the end of the entire group of 15 to get off the field. In value competitions, jumpers and throwers are directed away from the performance locations one at a time after one performance round.

– I took away the worst outbursts there on the field.

The final competition of the best twelve went with a result of 793. It should have been a very realistic goal for Pulli.
