Triple Jump, Women, Qualifying

Eight qualifiers made the final. But the story is, who did not qualify! Svetlana Bolshakova of Russia, Katja Demut of Germany, and Pareskevi Papahristou of Greece, all serious medal contenders, did not qualify. Bolshakova jumped 13.52m, 13.59m and 13.83 to finish 13th. Demut jumped 13.81m, 13.57m and 13.50m, to finish fifteenth and Papahristou jumped 13.72m on her second attempt, fouling on the first and third attempts! 

Natalya Kutyakova of Russia,  jumped 13.82m, 13.87m and finally, 14.44m for a personal best and also the top qualifier. Second qualifier was Simona La Mantia, of Italy, who jumped 14.00m, then 14.38m, then fouled on her third attempt-her 14.38m gave her the second best qualifier.

Dana Veldakova of Slovak Republic fouled in round 1, and jumped 14.27m on her second attempt-she held on for third best qualifier. Snezana Rodic of Slovania jumped 14.25m on her first attempt, and did not take anything else, as she jumped a personal best and hit the auto qualifier.

In fifth qualifier, Petia Dacheva of Bulgaria jumped 13.85m, 13.10m, and 14.20m on her third attempt to hit the fifth position. In sixth, Olesya Zabara of Russia jumped 14.13m on her first attempt, got the auto qualifier of 14.00m, and did not jump again.

In seventh, Cristina Bujin of Romania jumped 14.13 on her first attempt, made the auto qualifier and did not jump anymore. In eighth, Athanasia Perra of Greece jumped 13.90m, 14.01m and 13.85, her second attempt giving her the 14.01 mark and an auto-qualifier.

The triple jump is one of the most grueling events on one’s body. Kutyakova may be the prohibitive favorite, but I am wondering about La Mantia as well!

Big Surprise here was the non qualifying of Katja Demut of Germany, who could only finish fifteenth in the qualifying with 13.81m. Demut noted ” I really do not know what happened with me in the qualification. I thought that the second attempt was quite OK, but it was not long enough. I have no answer on why I did not manage to qualify today. I am very disappointed.”

Svetlana Bolshakova of Belarus also did not qualify, and here is what she had to say in the Mixed Zone: ” The good news is that I was able to jump with no pain, but it was not enough for the final. The track was not good for me, it bounced too much. I would have needed more competitions before, but It was just not possible after my operation. Life goes on. I always said that the main goal is Daegu next summer. ”

Shot Put Qualifying, Men

Gaetan Bucki of France, to the thrill of the enthusiastic crowd, lead the qualifying, with a 20.39m on his first throw.

Bucki commented aftewards, ” I am very satisfied. My goal was to get my qualification with just one throw, to keep all my energy before the final. It’s done with a new PB of 20.39m. It was a good job.. The shape is there, my technique is adjusted. Now, I will have to rest well, because the final will be intense in a more academic competition.”

In second,  was Marco Fortes of Portugal, who threw 19.98m, 19.37m, then popped a 20.34m National record and the second best qualifier.

In third, Germany’s Ralf Bartels, the old man of the shot, hit 20.33m for his first throw and an auto qualifier.

Bartels made it clear what he wants in Paris-Bercy! ” I was here in 2003 and was fifth, so, I want to improve on this result. I love Paris, it is a beautiful town and I hope I will have a chance to visit Eiffel tower after my competition. I think I can show 21 meters in the final. Definitely, I am in 21 meter shape. But the most important thing is a medal!”
 

In fourth, Maksim Sidorov of Russia threw 20.19m. In fifth, Nedzad Mulabegovic of Croatia thrw 19.80m, 19.80m and 20.05 to get his auto qualifier. In sixth, David Storl of Germany threw 20.01 on his second attempt. Seventh qualifier was Marco Schmidt of Germany who threw 19.93 on his first attempt and had two fouls. Final qualifier was Ivan Yushkov of Russia, with throws of 19.75m, then 19.68m, then a fould. His 19.75m got Yushkov the last qualifying position for the men’s shot put final.

Heat 5: Leslie Djhone of France, the man who could win the whole race here, looked good in his heat, winning in 46.63. Djhone is the French record holder and has made finals in Paris 2003, Athens 2004, Osaka 2007, Beijing 2008, Berlin 2009.

Djhone noted after the race: ” I respected my coach’s orders: run easy and stay strong. Time is ok. I tried to run as easily as I could, but in the same time I did not want to keep too much. You have to get in the competition, it is not so easy. I got a look at my opponents: Levine looks good. But, we will know more tonight.”

Dmitry Buryak of Russia was second in 46.84 and Dmtryo Ostrovskyy of the Ukraine took third in 47.33 for the final qualifier.

WE will see tomorrow and hopefully, I will be back and very fast. I feel relaxed and I am ready for the fight. I know the guys will try some tactics but it is Ok for me.
