Hoste finishes sixth in the 40-yard dash despite back problems

Jelle Hoste surprised himself with a sixth-place finish in the 40-yard dash. In his own words, that is a remarkable result for anyone who knows him.

The 5-10-5 shuttle went less smoothly. Hoste reported in his post that he struggled with his back during that event, which made the day a tough one on paper.

Even so, the Belgian looks back on a solid performance. In his Instagram caption he says he is satisfied with how he got through the day, despite the physical setback.

The real competition, according to Hoste, is yet to begin. He is looking forward to day two, which is where he expects the most from himself.
