4th Place
Rob Nielsen – Denmark – 8958 Points
(700 Points in the 1500)

Nielsen started out the event with a poor 100 meters, but uncorked a huge long jump and immediately positioned himself to be factor. With some up and down results the rest of the way in day 1, Nielsen still found himself in fourth place. There were more up and down performances early in day 2, but Nielsen was still in contention, sitting in 3rd with just 2 events remaining. Unfortunately, in the first throw of the Javelin, he appeared to pull something, but he fought through the pain and pressure of going into the last throw of the event without a score on record to record a distance that kept him in contention. Then he replicated that effort in the 1500, where he willed himself to post one of the best times in the event, despite the pain from the injury. However, that amazing effort would not be enough for the big Dane to climb onto the podium, as he’d come up just 83 points shy.
