Thobias Montler talked about his WC disappointment

Thobias Montler couldn’t believe his job was over. Sweden’s long jump hope had achieved a result of 781 in the final, with which the last three jumps remained a dream. In the final results, the Swede was found in 11th place.

Montler, who made his record 827 in May, was among the medal candidates of the race. That’s what he himself declared after qualifying.

– There is not much to say. It went to shit, the man told Expressen.

Montler attributed his own failure to the wind conditions, which had given him problems earlier in the season

At the interview site, the Swede had the opportunity to watch as the long jump gold was about to be won. He turned the TV away from the pictures.

– I can’t even look. It’s so damn ridiculous, Montler would tell Expressen.

The level of the long jump was seriously rare. China’s Wang Jian’s made sure with his golden jump of 836 cents that the final was not the worst in the history of the WC. The “record” still stood 19 years ago in Paris with a result of 832 points by Dwight Phillips on behalf of.

There were also difficulties with other top names. World number two India Murali Sreeshankar was seventh with a score of 796.

Silver went to the reigning Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou. The length of the Greek longest jump was measured at 832. The bronze went to Switzerland’s Simon Ehammer.

– If you look at that damn results list now… there we jump to bronze with 816. I’m there, a bitter Montler pointed to his own level.
