Tokyo Olympic game ended last month . During the Olympic I watched many competitions on TV. I was interested in Athletics, speciously the triple jump and the pole jump (vault) because I was a player of them when I was junior high school student.
At that time I was selected as a representative player of the triple jump and the pole jump for Miyoshi area junior competition. There were only 3 competitors of the triple jump competition in my junior high school. So it’s easy to be selected as a representative in spite of the poor records.
That’s why I couldn’t pass these qualifies. The cut line of pole jump was 2m30cm. My best score was only 2m. It was less than the high jump record.
Another result of the triple jump was more miserable.
The triple jump have 3 kinds of Jump, Hop Step and Jump. So the landing area is a sand box. The distance from a take-off board to a sand box was 11 meter. However my best record was only 10m. So I couldn’t reach a sand box when my landing. My jump was the hard landing.
In the Olympic period ,I ignored my wife’s favorite TV programs. I monopolized TV channel for watching the Olympic games. She was in a bad mood then.
So when I told these miserable experiences to my wife , she said, “Your life is similar to your triple jump.
