A huge disappointment with a Pole’s performance. Fatal scenario!
Jakub Szymański fell off the competition 110 meters through the fences during the World Cup in Tokyo. The Pole is the current European champion.
Certainly, the start of Jakub Szymański was not imagined by the fans and the person himself – together with their training staff. During the Monday start in Tokyo, at the world championships, the Polish athlete lacked “fire”.
World Championships: Jakub Szymański dropped out in the eliminations of the fingercakes!
Szymański came to the finish line with a time of 13.74 pp. The Pole took seventh place in his run, i.e. he was … the penultimate in the stake. Looking at the results recently achieved by Szymański, it was his worst start from the elimination of the Olympic Games in Paris (2024).
“In emotions it is hard for me to say … This year the floor of my results progressed. I did 2 life trainings before this start. As if it cut me off, from the beginning. I do not blame the organization, the fault is only on my side. The weakest run in the season at the world championships” – said Szymański for TVP Sport, quoted on portal X by the well -known Athletics News author.
It is worth adding that Szymański is the indoor European champion of this year, at a distance of 60 meters through the fences. Unfortunately, successes under the roof could not be translated into competition at the open stadium.
Damian Czykier, the second Polish fences, also fell out in his elimination race. The Pole had a lot of health problems this season and the trip to the World Championships was a great achievement for him – in the context of adversity. Czykier finally reached the time of 13.58 p.
Monday is important at the World Championships in Tokyo also due to the starts, among others Anita Włodarczyk (hammer projection) and Pii Skrzyszowska (100 m by fences). During this year’s athletics event, the Polish team has little medal chances, which we mentioned in a separate text.
