For this sentence, "He threw the discus 53.11 meters, ranking last out of 18 athletes. The 17th place finalist in the second qualifying heat, Iraq's Haidar Nasser Shaheed, threw the 1.08 meters further; heat leader Rutger Smith of the Netherlands threw the discus 12.54 meters further than Matthias", wouldn't it sound better like this: "He threw the discus 53.11 meters, ranking last out of 18 athletes. The 17th place finalist in the second qualifying heat, Iraq's Haidar Nasser Shaheed, threw 1.08 meters further with heat leader Rutger Smith of the Netherlands throwing the discus 12.54 meters further than Matthias"?
In the table, what does that beige colour bar supposed to represent?
It serves to show that those rounds were not played. So, if results are given for the first round and for the final round but the semifinals are beige, then no semifinal rounds were held; those who qualified in the first round went straight to finals. --Starstriker7(

this.
