Eugene. In the final to get a medal.
But the long final was a fiasco for Thubias Muntler who ruled with only 7.81 and finished in 11. The worst feeling was when he saw what was needed for a medal.
– It’s so ridiculous, he says.
In qualification memorize Thobias Montler Finally, with his back against the wall. His 8.10 was the third-best, and he reached the final as one of six riders to have a chance at all places on the podium.
But soon the situation became precarious even in the final.
Montler interrupted the first jump after falling too far from approaching. Others also did not succeed with 7.74.
“Everything Taken From One”
When he stood on the approach to the third jump, 7.94 was required to continue the jump, but the Swede missed the entire plank and landed at 7.81.
– Like I said in the playoffs, in this case you have everything to lose. You have to give birth and then I put my feet down and I feel ‘goat’. When you see that it is not enough, everything is taken from one. He says it’s just nonsense.
Explains problems with approaching the wind that switched from a plus sign on the jump to a light headwind during competition.
This season I had a very difficult time fixing it while competing. I don’t sort it out and it’s too bad.
Still experienced, and have skipped several big finals, shouldn’t you be able to fix small wind tweaks?
– Of course, I will definitely do it. This is what bothers one.
Discuss a lot with Tregaro
You talk a lot with Yannick during the competition, don’t you seem to totally agree?
– We still agree, it’s about small tweaks. It’s still determined by how much I upload and flag, and it’s always hard to tell. This time it happened.
The finale was generally pale. Simon Emmer grabbed the bronze, recording 8.16. Behind the press in the mixed zone, Montler sees the hit list.
– It hurts more, I won’t stick it under the chair.
– No, I can’t see that. He’s so silly, he says, and left the World Cup with his head low.
The final match was unexpectedly won by China’s Jinan Wang who got a superb shot in the last round and increased from 8.03 to 8.36 and passed big favorite Miltiadis Tentoglou who jumped 8.32.
