ANY TIME YOU FIND YOURSELF trailing only JJK on an all-time list, you’ve done something terribly right. And that’s what happened to Anna Hall when she put together a 7-event sequence of 13.19, 6-4¾/1.95, 48‑9/14.86, 23.37, 21-1½/6.44, 151‑5/46.16, 2:01.23 in Götzis, totaling 7032.
THAT LEAVES HER 219 points behind JJK’s WR of 7251, an average of “only” 32 points per event. Just for funsies here’s what Hall would produce if she added those 32s to each event: 12.97, 6-6/1.98, 49-9¾/15.42, 23.05, 21-5½/6.54, 152-7/46.51, 1:58.83…
6-TIME LEADER Nafi Thiam, long bothered by an Achilles problem (and feuding with her federation) dropped out of the WC in mid-competition.
“I started this morning thinking I would fight until the end and not leave empty-handed because I’ve worked hard this year,” she said. “I knew I could do something good here and fight for my place in the standings but that didn’t happen. So I’m disappointed, yes. This championship is a real black cloud.”
