Another thing about the competition is that if u saw Janne's jump from side view, it was very clear that he did take his jump down, he landed from *so* high. So it's fair to say he would have gone over 245 easily. But that would have been landing on bottom of the pit. Point is, as I noted before, with the way jury is running the competition, best jumper doesn't always win having to "cut short" his jump.
