The blond-haired young man will not forget the last discipline of the first multi-sport day – a 400-meter run on a smooth surface. He wanted to attack better times, but just a few meters after the start he found out: “Damn, something is wrong here.”
And indeed. As he looked down, his darkest fears came true. The “bird” flew out of his “hook” and swung from side to side like a pendulum. “What now?”
Useless fight
At first he struggled. He even took the lead before reaching the finish line, but his aerodynamics and composure were violated by the constant sticking of his pubes where he should not have come out originally. Just bad luck. This race was not as expected. He had already abandoned the last phase in frustration. On Thursday, he finished with an average time of 51.57, almost five tenths behind his best. At the finish line, he shook his head in disbelief and finally fell to the ground, giving up.
Overall, he finished the all-around in 15th place. His mood improved in the evening at the hotel when he treated himself to his favorite… pizza!
