now gets the crowd involved and his competitors joining in as you can see Cuban athlete Parada behind the hammer the Swiss here we go what's he got for round three oh oh he's okay I think he's okay is he is he my goodness me I he was over the board so I hope he's he's all right he's okay oh thank goodness for that I I don't know I've never ever seen a a landing in the sand like that never never did you know he totally got that take off wrong could not control the pace he knew that he'd found it and then totally over rotated in the air so when he started to do his hitch kick he totally rotated knew that he'd fouled it's almost like he tried to pull out not put any effort in because he had failed he doesn't have to I slipped he totally slipped on the takeoff so you need to have that so when you're a long jumper you want to have your foot underneath your center of gravity in that takeoff position it's not like a high jump where your foot is out in front unfortunately his foot was just that little bit out in front and with that massive velocity of speed coming down the runway He Slipped that could have been very dangerous
