You've never seen this in the history of athletics, Bulgarian set the record of the year, then lost first place by 1 cm
On the last day of last week, several very strong meets were held across Europe, and besides Milica Gardašević and the women's long jump competition in Karlsruhe, Metz also hosted a competition in the same discipline, but for men. And it was a real spectacle.
TL;DR
- Mattia Furlani and Bozhidar Saraboyukov achieved world-leading long jumps of 8.39m in Metz.
- Both jumps were personal bests and occurred in the same round, a rare occurrence.
- Furlani won the competition with his second-best jump of 8.38m, just ahead of Saraboyukov's 8.37m.
- Femke Bol set a national record in the 800m, and Henriette Jaeger ran the fastest 400m of the season.
