Ivana Spanovic managed to reach the finals with only one jump, although she did not jump the 6,70 meters requirements.

The four of them had a jump over 6.60m, and our Ivana Spanovic was among them. In the first series, she jumped 6.62 meters and decided to withdraw from the competition. It was enough for Ivana to be in the World Championship finals.

- Due to extremely difficult weather conditions, I knew that the 6.60m jump would certainly be enough for the finals. After the routine first jump of 6,62m, I told Ivana to withdraw from the field. All the main competitors went to the finals - said the coach Goran Obradovic.
