The second day of the men’s competition will take place on Saturday at the Tokyo Stadium, where Laura Asadauskaitė-Zadenprovskienė created the silver miracle and won the Olympic vice-champion title on Friday, and Gintarė Venčkauskaitė finished seventh.
J.Kinder and its competitors await the matches of swimming (starting at 8.42am, Lithuanian time), additional fencing (starting at 9.45am), horse riding (starting at 1.30pm) and combined (starting at 1.30 pm) – race and shooting.
After Thursday’s fencing competition, J. Kinder shares 3-4 places with Belarusian Ilya Palazkov.
Saturday’s first match – 200m will sail in freestyle. Unlike previous games, it will take place in a 25-meter long pool, located in the stadium itself, next to the plaza. “I really hope the shorter group is more convenient for me because it used to be that way. But swimming is not the party that would lead to something very. Like the fencing extra stage. After them, there are small changes in the table, ”said the Lithuanian.
In the additional fencing stage, the athletes in the last two places face off first. The winner goes further, collides with a higher ranked opponent, so the last to survive in these fights has to face the overall leader. Only one point is awarded for victory.
In the women’s competition, everything was determined by the last two matches. In the ride, Annika Schleu, the German leader who did not control the horse and did not finish the race, lost everything she had won. And both Lithuanians, the only ones who were never wrong, rose to positions, from which they then invaded among the leaders.
The horse route consists of 12 obstacles, but requires 15 jumps. Each athlete has 300 points before riding. Both can be won if you don’t drop any obstacles and don’t exceed the time limit. 7 points are deducted for each obstacle removed, minus 10 for each stop and 1 point for each second of overtime. When a stubborn horse doesn’t jump over obstacles or drop a rider, it may run out of points.
Before the combined match, all points are converted into seconds. The leader of the competition starts first and the others, as many seconds as behind. Athletes must cover 4 800m laps at a time and “turn off” five target lights as soon as possible with a laser gun on the shooting range 4 times. True, and does not reach all targets after 50 seconds. the athlete can run more.
Speaking of Saturday’s race, one of the factors that could affect the final result, J. Kinder mentioned the heat in Tokyo: on Friday it was 34 degrees and the sensory temperature was 41 degrees.
“We spent a little over a week in Hiracuka before the games, it seemed like the heat wasn’t funny. If you only live, it is one. But when training is raised to a certain level, the body begins to react completely differently.
I hope the temperature drops at eight thirty at night. But maybe you don’t have to think about that, because there are still many games waiting for the team, ”said the pentathlete.
On Friday, he wasn’t sitting with his hands crossed, he was training. “Run, swim, shoot. Here with us as our Father. You don’t have to sit down, “J. Kinder said after the first game.
So far, pentathletes from independent Lithuania have won five Olympic medals. And the owners of all of them were at the Tokyo Stadium on Friday.
L.Asadauskaitė-Zadneprovskienė here in 2012 Gold added in London added silver. Her husband and coach, 2004 Athens Olympic Vice Champion and 2008 Beijing bronze winner Andrei Zadneprovsky came to Tokyo as a member of the Executive Committee of the International Modern Pentathlon Union. And the vice-champion of the Beijing Games, Edvin Krungolc, is one of the referees.
