Triple Jump - Eldhose Paul hanging by a thread
Eldhose Paul has one attempt left but is down to 12th position. What works in his favour though is that he is the last jumper in Group A and he can decide his own fate with that final attempt. Group B is done with all jumps.
Sit tight, this is going to be an interesting finish.
