Is Koala  becoming a legitimate medal threat in Paris?

 

Cool to see her transition from heptathlon going well at least.

As much as I would LOVE for it to happen, no…

 

6.68m is a decent mark, but it’s not going to be contending for an Olympic medal (final for sure), unless a couple of the favourites have a bad day… 

 

You’d probably need 6.80m+ in order to get on the podium. 

[Epic Failure 359]

I'd agree that the 6.68 itself is not a medal worthy jump, but it was also done with practically no wind.

 

She was 7th in Budapest last year and beat 2 of the athletes above her that day today (Diame and Rotaru-Kottman). She jumped in excess of 6.80 a few times last year.

 

So I would say that she's definitely an outside minor medal threat already if she gets things right on the day. But she's likely to need to go beyond 7m to move from 'outside chance' to 'strong chance'.

She jumped 6.94m at the Jeux de la Francophonie last year, which is how she qualified for Paris 2024.

But is she consistently recording marks around that range, or even anywhere near 6.80m? No. 
 

Not saying she won’t be a contender, but I wouldn’t consider her to be one of the main favourites unless she can prove that she can do medal winning marks at the majority of her competitions.
