In the afternoon finals session, I did not clear the 2.0 meters. The malady root occurred three days after the Stanford Olympic trials on the Oxy field in the presence of Coach Coker. We initially thought the deal was an ankle challenge; but what actually occurred was a lower-back disc-nerve challenge discovered after the Olympic Games. Full sciatic spasms would cripple jumps after a couple of jumps in a session; such occurred in the Olympic afternoon finals; the morning session clearing the 2 meters started the syndrome; in the afternoon I cleared the opening height to place 17th, but I was in severe spasm following the initial all-out jump to place.
