Pigi Debetzi, who won bronze medal in triple jump, did not make it
through to long jump final finishing 9th in the A preliminary group
with a 6.57m jump and ranked 15th overall. Her jump was just 3cm
shorter of Jamaican athlete 6.60m who finished 12th and advanced to
final. Debetzi said it was a difficult preliminary, she tried hard and
risked to achieve a 6.70m jump but had two disallowed jumps, uncommon
for her.
