FAQ: Tippmixpro, Athletics, Olympics, women’s long jump, winner: Tara Davis-Woodhall
Rationale: The women’s long jump final at the Olympics promises to be a battle between two ladies. American Tara Davis-Woodhall, 25, and German Malaika Mihambo stand out in the field, both capable of jumps over 7 meters. Tara, who has jumped 718 cm this year, is favored due to her rival Mihambo’s recent struggle with COVID-19 affecting her training. Mihambo only managed 687 cm in a recent competition and admits she needs to improve before the Olympics. Although Mihambo is talented and will likely progress, Tara’s recent form makes her the favorite for victory. Even without illness, this matchup would be 50-50, but with Mihambo’s setback, Tara is clearly the frontrunner with attractive odds.
Outcome: Tara Davis-Woodhall won the gold medal in women’s long jump => The tip WON!
