Kroyter suffers early high jump exit
Bottom-place finish for Israeli athlete at Olympic Stadium.

He cleared the first distance of 2.17 at the second attempt, but then failed with all three attempts at 2.22. Finishing bottom of Group A, he finished in 42nd position overall.
The 23-year-old was born in Siberia, with his family emigrating to Israel in 1999. He became Israel’s first ever Youth World Champions at the 2009 World Youth Championships in Athletics.
