With a day left to qualify in the long jump, Russian Darija Klisjina is forced to be removed from the starting list. The reason should be a thigh injury.
Klisjina, who took the World Cup silver in London two years ago, has had a brave season and is ranked as a world trophy this year at 6.84. Her personal record is 7.05.
On his Instagram, the 28-year-old writes about the background to the decision.
“Unfortunately, me and my staff have decided not to compete in the World Cup. The reason is a thigh injury, which means that I cannot compete at my highest level. Of course I am disappointed, but this is how sport works. "
