Reportedly the jump was made with a good tailwind +1,8 but on the other hand with more than 20cm to spare!
His coach was overwhelmed by the result and said that he had jumped up against 16,70 in training.
Next competion will be the NC next weekend and after that he will decide on Berlin.
Glad to hear this. I hope he'll be in Berlin and in good enough shape to fight for the medals. I always liked him. All the other Swedes seem to be injured or retired at the moment.
It was a very big surprise. About a week ago his coach Tregaro declared in media in Sweden that Berlin was out of question and maybe that Olsson can compete at the end of season only. Tregaro/Olsson however said at that time that next competition will be a secret one with no announcement. And it sure was secret. I only read earlier today at www.friidrott.se about this and could not believe my eyes. Fantastic news for Sweden!
He has had just about the worst luck any athlete could have.
I would love to see him at Worlds.
I agree to disagree. I am not sure over competing in TJ and then getting injured can be considered bad luck.....
Nobody ever even dare to compete that many times in those good seasons....and he pays the price.... Not really impressed with his and his coach common sense.
Actually, there is something almost artistic about it: He makes three posts,
his post count lands at 123 (at the time I am writing)---and the thread deals
with the triple jump.
this is really great. my congrats to olsson and his coach. it will give back some glamour to the event. he doesnt need to medal in berlin, just be there stay healthy and show you are back.
greetings.
