Eugene. Thobias Montler has the power to create drama in a tournament.
So, with only one attempt in the long playoffs last night, he stood there again.
Facing a new leap of anxiety could have cost last place.
You want to jump at the same time you don’t. But when I saw Yannick tighten his fists in the stands, I knew it was obvious, says Muntler.
When it really mattered it flew Thobias Montler 8.10 in the last jump.
And though it was a nightmare, he made it to his fourth consecutive final out of four possible at a major outdoor tournament.
EC 2018, WC 2019, Olympics 2021 and now WC at Eugene 2022.
It’s a huge qualification.
Drama usually comes first in the finals.
Now he already came into the playoffs.
Hairy stomped on the first jump, a very cautious jump on the second, and Thobias was out of the World Cup final before the third.
It was nicer to do something well before and enjoy it all the time. But the characterizations are more worrying. This is where you are convicted. This was a little off for my taste as well, but the point was just to make sure the situation was resolved, says Montler.
“Then there will be trampling…”
Now Thobias Montler has the nerve to handle the most.
He had a long time to think before his last hope, but he struck a perfect balance in a very difficult situation.
– Yes, if there is too much adrenaline, it will be crushed, and if you hold back it will not be enough. Now it was right at the end and it’s good to be here at the end with the third longest jump.
When the competition ended, Japan’s Yuki Hashioka recorded the longest jump with 8.18, followed by American Marquis Dende with 8.16.
Olympic favorite Meltiadis Tintoglu split to fifth with a score of 8.03, while world champion Tajay Gayle of Jamaica, as expected, immediately disappeared after his injury problems.
Now the Swede awaits a new championship final, hopefully devoid of mandatory drama, most recently in Tokyo where good stomping cost him a medal.
– Yes, no one escaped in these qualifiers and I’m fighting for it. There seems to be more to pick up.
