Thobias Montler secured his second place already in the fourth jump, where he reached 8.08 meters – his best result for the day. After that, he could not continue.
The extreme heat put a stop to it and he chose to abstain from the two final jumps.
It's inhumanly hot. I actually didn't think it would be so humid and hot. That's why I couldn't do the last two jumps, I got cramps in both calves. It felt like it had to be enough, says Montler to SVT.
Greek Miltiadis Tentoglou took home the victory with a jump of 8.46 meters.
A nice receipt Montler gets to take with him today. A fine jump series, says SVT's expert Alhaji Jeng.
