Event 2 - Long Jump - Review

The Winners

Llwy
The biggest winner, without question was Llyw...anytime you max out an event you are a huge winner as there was no possible way to gain more points in the event.

The Favorites
Other winners are difficult to define, but I'd have to put all the favorites in the this column (Babson, Nielsen, and McCloud)...though they weren't dominating winners, all three were on the verge of being big losers in the event until the last jump and all 3 pulled through with an acceptable result. Certainly all 3 left points on the table, but they finished in the top of the standing in the event...and thus didn't lose too many points to the field


The Losers

Ashkayev
As big a winner as Ashkayev was in the 100 Meters, he was a bigger loser here. Not only did he finish last in the event, he was almost 2' shy of 11th and 10th place...that is a huge hit in the standings...

Gunderson
Gunderson got a bad break on the dice rolls in his last two attemps as he clearly should have been in the upper 23' range at worst...unlike Bafou, who jumped a similar distance, he did about as good as he could, Gunderson lost some ground here...
