- I didn't manage to pull through. This is a big disappointment for me. I hoped to be at least in the top eight because of all the people who trust and follow my footsteps, but i failed. The injury is great and i will probably have to go to the surgery after this. When it is over, i will see if i have the strength to continue with my career - said disappointed Kolasinac, who suffered emotionally after the result of 19.96 m.
Kolasinac performed after receiving two injections and defied doctors' advises, who insisted that he should not compete so he doesn't endanger his health.
Asmir's move is worth more than a medal, and it is a great shame he did not have the opportunity to fight for it, with the ovation of the home audience. Hats down and quick recovery!
