A sort ofThings became clear when he had to sit in a wheelchair and was pushed off the runway the day after his dramatic departure Nicholas Kaul Collected again. “It won’t be better now,” the decathlon world champion injured his foot and said of his plan to visit the Tokyo Olympic Stadium as a grandstand guest. But the quarrel was of no avail. He wanted to watch the “boys” throw javelins and run 1,500 meters.
The boys are his decathlon colleagues, and the 23-year-old actually wants to compete with them for medals. But there was no result, because Kaul injured his right ankle in the high jump the day before.
Therefore, when Damian Warner was declared the new king of athletes, he had to watch the game without hesitation. The 31-year-old Canadian not only won the gold medal deservedly, he won the championship with his first victory without any fluctuations, and he even broke the magical 9000 mark with a score of 9018, which was in the Gotzs competition. Almost never reached the miss (8995). The classic sprinter from North America took the lead with an excellent sprint of 10.12 seconds earlier on Wednesday. He set two records in the decathlon: 8.24 meters for the long jump and 13.46 seconds for the hurdle. There is no decathlete who has ten. The event was accomplished within the Olympic framework. The Frenchman Kevin Meyer, the world record holder with 9,126 points, and Kaul the next day, won the silver medal with 8726 points in the fierce pursuit, and finally reached a climax with a 73.09-meter javelin throw. Australian Ashley Moloney (8649) unexpectedly won the bronze medal. Kai Kazmirek (8126) won the 14th place.
Judging from his start in the all-around competition, Nicholas Kaul could have had a say in the medal decision. So far, after a difficult season, he said it “clicked.” He had dared to set a house record of around 8,700 points. After his personal best performance in long jump and long jump, as well as his good results in sprinting and shot put, he was 100 points higher in the intermediate level in Doha, where he became a sensation due to his excellent performance the next day. world champion.
No one falls like Kaul
It happens during the high jump. “My feet are too close,” Kaul said, analyzing his misfortune, which is unrecognizable at first glance. The jump is successful, and the flight is also successful: 2.11 meters are perfectly mastered. He has never jumped so high in any competition, and his cheers are correspondingly vigorous. No decathlon athlete ran higher in the high jump that day. But no one fell so low like him. Because even if you switch from jumping shoes to slippers, even TV viewers know that something is wrong: blood is flowing out of the socks. The result of Kaul’s “standing too close” was that too much force was acting on the spring feet. “I have to make sure I stay further away,” the young man analyzed his misfortune in a surprisingly clear manner in coaching style. But he was immediately ready to explain: “High-performance situation”. Athletes from all over the world don’t always listen to their voices in ways that might make sense. The result is painful bruising of the metatarsals.
