First try missed... took the bar with the knees...

[Wan]

2nd missed too, but better...
He seems to be yet a little short physically talking for a new WR.
But what a guy !

[Wan]

WR missed.
RL seems to have regrets on his 3thd try. Was not very far.
But what a score : 5.73 o, 5.93 o, 6.02 o, 6.17 xxx !
It was a good one. Let's see him at the French championships and then in Malmö.
Thanks for following.
