However despite jumping in excess of 6.00m on all six attempts for the second time in her career, Kaputin was not able to improve on her seasons best and again recorded a best effort of 6.25m to finish fourth. Whilst things didn’t go as planned , this is still a huge performance coming back from the injury that towards the end of 2019 seemed to have derailed her Olympic hopes .”I’m prepared to pour all my heart and soul into this in the two months remaining and get some big jumps in the Oceania competitions in June” said Kaputin. “I’m confident of jumping well over 6.50m. Im running and jumping well and just need to put it together on the day”, she added. Based on the World Athletics Road to Tokyo Ranking , Kaputin is currently ranked 53 and her aim is to still be in the top 60 by the end of the qualifying period.
