Event Summary Jim Spier
Event Summary: This was a great one. The favorite, Xiaoyi Zhang
of China held the lead through four rounds, first at 25-8.75 and then, in
round
four,
at
25-9.5. Then the fun began. In the fifth round, Australian Robert Crowther
moved into the lead with an even 8.00 meter jump (26-3). Antone Belt of the
US improved in that round to 26-1, a personal best to secure second place.
Zhang, distraught in front of his home crowd, could not improve an was relegated
to the bronze position.
