Full of confusion after the jump – skin braided the referee – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

– First you say I have to wait, then you ask me to jump and I’m not ready. You can stop the clock, there are both athletes and officials on the field. There must be one minute without people there, it says in the rule book. Sondre Guttormsen was anything but satisfied after his second qualification jump of 5.75 metres. The 23-year-old had just finished the match when he stormed over to one of the referees, clearly displeased. – I want another jump, he demanded. – OK. You get it, the judge replied.

There he explained the bizarre situation, and is supported by his father, who explains what happened to news. – They set him off with a lot of people on the trail, and the minute they were wearing went by, so he just had to jump, so then he got another one, he says and adds: – But it’s a bit of a mess here, because they have to jump equally on both mats. Now those who jump 5.65 on the other mat get an advantage, because they can time what happens on the other mat. After a quick discussion, Guttormsen was heard by the referee and jumped again. – What happens to him when he has to jump twice? – It is not possible to jump twice in such a short time now. You can see that on the second jump, it doesn’t work. It’s quite a powerful discharge to jump, says father Guttormsen – I guess they agreed since they gave him another jump, but I don’t understand why they’re pushing… they have to hold back. To the final On the third attempt, Sondre Guttormsen should finally succeed, who manages the jump of 5.75 metres. – It was sick of you. A rather nerve-wracking attempt, he told news. He had to have three attempts at 5.75 and had to clear it to make it to the final. – It went completely black. Last attempt at a height you know you have to clear to get to the final, so it’s scary. Pål Haugen Lillefosse also qualified for the WC final in the pole vault after a jump of 5.75 metres. Photo: Stian Lysberg Solum / NTB Twelve jumpers are ready for Sunday’s final. Simen Guttormsen ripped three times at 5.65 and is out of the competition. He was overall number 15.
