Khaddi Sagnia is showing great form now that the track and field season is drawing to a close.
Tonight, when the Diamond League season ended in Doha, he was noted for one of the best results of his career. Her longest jump in long jump competition reaching a total of 6.85 in her second jump, just seven centimeters from the personal record she set in Zagreb last week.
– It’s a global result, says SVT sports expert Kajsa Bergqvist, continuing a little later:
– It’s great that he has established himself at this level and chooses it competition after competition. Still having trouble finding the table at times, but it has become more secure in focus. She has something very, very special.
The last decided jump
Tonight’s competition, like Stockholm’s Diamond League competition earlier this summer, had the new system with a final jump. Thus, the three who jumped the longest after five rounds had to make a final jump, where everyone had to jump one jump each, and the one who jumped the longest won.
In that jump, Sagnia reached “only” 6.55 and thus finished third, despite her 6.85 being the second longest jump in the competition.
– It’s a lottery, completely serious. But at the same time, I see it as if in championships you should be able to perform in every jump. So take it with you, work on it, and come back stronger. There is nothing else, Sagnia said after the competition.
– That Maryna Bech-Romantjuk win is completely fair because she jumped longer (6.91), and you can think that there is no big difference between finishing second or third. But there are also prize money in these contests that can be useful, and there is a certain difference between second and third place.
“He is very proud”
The competition was Sagnias 14th and last this season, and he won twelve of them.
– I’m very proud of myself. Last season was my comeback after a cruciate ligament injury and I have worked hard to come back strong, and I have really shown it this season. So I am very happy. I was hoping to take one more jump on the last jump, but you can’t get everything you want, he says.
