      Beitia is probably the most popular jumper, both with fans and fellow competitors. Her idiosyncratic style even gets the occasional mimic in the crowd (see the 2016 European Champs). But if you watch the competition _in toto_ you will see how much respect she gets from other jumpers. When Alessia Trost - a definite medal prospect - bombed out at 1.97, she made a beeline for Beitia and a quick consoling cry on her shoulder. Towards the end Beitia could be seen cheering her opponents on, something that would have earned her a warning in days gone by. That's why everyone likes her.

      She would never have won if only the strongest athlete in the world at that time, Maria Lasitskene, had been allowed to attend the games. This is not a victory - it is a disgrace to the Olympic movement. And Ruth is certainly not to blame for this shame, but this medal should be hidden and not shown to anyone. Because this is a fake, not a real high-level competition

      @thethirdman225 8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      High jumping in wet or marginal conditions is extremely testy and while this final did not produce spectacular results in terms of heights cleared, I found it a mesmerising battle. It was totally different from the Heptathlon. When the surface is damp it becomes slightly harder and develops an certain amount of slickness to it. Of course all athletes wear spikes (even Donald Thomas now wears them) but it is still possible to slip. What's more, the surface was wetter on one side than the other. This should have favoured jumpers like Marie-Laurence Jungfleisch but she didn't have a particularly good day. What it did was sort out those with cool heads from the rest. Only Demireva jumped a PB (equal). The rest had to hold their nerve. There were genuine medal chances who cracked under pressure. Anyone who watched Kamila Licwinko at 1.97 - a height she would normally make - knew it was tough. You could see it in her face: her eyebrows were up and her lips were pursed. She was feeling it. I couldn't believe it when Airine Palsyte went out at 1.93. There were some very battered egos after this final and I suspect a not a few tears afterwards.
      What was really noticeable was the regard in which Ruth Beitia is held. She sat there throughout the competition egging her fellow competitors on - something which would have earned her a reprimand in days gone by. When another medal prospect Alessia Trost went out she made a bee line for Beitia for a quick cry on her shoulder.

      _"You become olympic champion with this height?!"_
      Sure. Why not? It doesn't matter how high you jump. It matters how well you jump on the day, relative to your opponents. What has not been reported was that the runway was wet for most of the comp. This has a multi-fold effect. Firstly, it is a psychological problem for some jumpers because slipping is an issue. Secondly, the surface becomes harder and actually has a lower grip index when it is cool or wet, so slippage is actually a reality. Thirdly, the runway was unevenly wet. Left foot take off jumpers had more surface dampness to contend with than those with a right foot take off. That should have played straight into the hands of Marie-Laurence Jungfleisch, fresh from her 2.00m jump at Eberstadt but it didn't.
      The competition came down to who could adapt best to the conditions. Only Demireva jumped a PB (actually an equal PB). Watch what happened to others like Kamila Licwinko. She's a very seasoned campaigner but you could see defeat written all over her face after her second miss at 1.97m. Vlasic was also recovering from Achilles surgery and was obviously not fully fit. The heights may not have been very impressive but this was a bruising psychological battle where only the coolest heads would prevail. In the end, it was the right result. The bar doesn't lie.

    Worst Olympic final since 1980! Maria Lasitskene would've won this even on a bad day. And the fact that Blanka only lost gold medal on countback while literally on 1 foot, shows what a champion she is and how mediocre the rest of the women were.
