Makedonas 1,623 Posted July 3, 2021 #1731 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Alexis Copello of Azerbaijan is out of the men's triple jump. Not surprising as he hasn't competed at all during this outdoor season. Neither has the other Azeri, Nazim Babayev. I wonder if he'll withdraw. Tsiamis now moves up to 33rd. I don't wish injury on anyone but it would be really nice if Tsiamis gets in. He certainly would've made it but DNS in the final of the Greek national championships (after jumping in qualifying) and then was going to go to the Balkan Championships but withdrew a few days prior. Both events would've given him easy ranking points to go to Tokyo. Then you have the three miracle men (one from Uzbekistan, one Armenia, and one Georgia) who all qualified in this event despite never jumping anywhere near the standard unless they are in their home countries. World Athletics really needs to do something about this problem. Tsiamis really should be in Tokyo, would be such a shame for him to miss out...

Sulek and girl from Trynidad was so close qualify thanks to standard, girl from Uzbekistan has good ranking thanks to Asian Champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,189 Posted July 4, 2021 #1737 Share Posted July 4, 2021 If the Trinidad girl was as good as she says she is, then she would have qualified outright. Vic Liu, Makedonas, Adriano and 1 other 4 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tough standard but 11 got it while she’s talking about being denied a medal by the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Linha 488 Posted July 4, 2021 #1740 Share Posted July 4, 2021 triple jumper Diaz Fortun removed from the national team for Tokyo as he refused to participate in some European meetings. I suppose it gives quota to Tsiamis and Veszelka moves to the first position below the line... Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
