Saga Vanninen disappointed heavily in the long position.
Saga Vanninen was far from his best. PDO
Saga Vanninen was extremely disappointed with his performance in the heptathlon long jump at the under-23 European Championships in Espoo.
Vanninen jumped a result of 602, while his record set this season is 643.
The step mark of the Finn, who was hunting for European Championship gold, was badly lost, and the jumps started mercilessly from far away.
– The sign didn’t hit, so nothing will come of it then, Vanninen said in annoyance.
– The winds were a bit difficult.
Vanninen said that he expected “quite a lot more” centimeters from the long race.
– Maybe a 630 would still be fine. There’s really nothing to do there.
How far must the javelin be thrown now?
– Pretty far, if you still dare to go get a win.
At the moment, Holland is number one in the points waiting for the heptathlon Sophie Dokter.
