Henry Rebello

It was August 3, with the Olympics in full swing. The qualifying rounds were held in the morning.

Rebello easily made it to the final by clearing 49 feet, the qualifying mark being 48 feet 6 inches. But in the evening session during his first attempt, he tore a thigh muscle which forced the 19-year-old out of the competition.
