Eugene. Deca Marcus Nelson was barely tall.
The Swede actually broke back pain during the long jump and thus completed a heavy loo for the Nelson family where David broke the marathon.
– He put his whole life into this and can’t even compete. It’s disgusting. I feel so sorry for him, says partner Nadia Casadey as he weeps for SVT.
No, Eugene’s restroom probably won’t be talked about at the Christmas table in the Nelson family home.
Big Brother David only ran a 20km marathon before his foot got so bad. He broke off and ran all the acoustics straight to his house, took a shower and disappeared from the tournament.
Prior to the decathlon, little brother Marcus also announced some back problems that had surfaced upon his arrival in Eugene. He still hoped to be able to run for the family honor in decathlon.
– Yes, a little like that, I must bite the bullet. But there are no easy branches to just complete, you have to respect that you don’t complete a certain number of starts, as he told Sportbladet before.
“a little fear”
But it didn’t work at all.
He completed the 100m in 11.46, a time close to the best time of the year. But his back could not stand the long jump. He tried in the first round but aborted the jump out of fear of further pain.
– He’s a little negative, a little afraid. Now he was a little behind the plank. Had he sat there, he would have put his foot in front of him and been slapped in the back, says partner and substitute coach Nadia Cassady.
On the second jump he fell but far from his ability of 5.90 and then broke.
– “I can’t go down, I can’t even raise my legs,” he says. This is very sad for everyone, but terrible for him. He puts his whole life into this and can’t even compete. It’s disgusting. I feel very sorry for him, says partner Nadia Casadey who was also there as coach at Eugene.
