It was going so smoothly for Canada’s Django Lovett in the high jump final on Monday night at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Ore.
He was flawless through seven jumps and seemed poised to make a push for the podium at Hayward Field.
But with pressure mounting in the final, Lovett was unable to clear what would have been a season-best height of 2.30 metres and finished sixth in the event.
