First place was taken by Miltiadis Tentoglou at the Diamond League in Lausanne, Switzerland. The two-time “gold” Olympic long jump medallist achieved his best performance at 8.06 metres.
Until the fifth attempt, Tentoglou was in third place with a best jump of 7.97 meters.
7.97 metres (-0.5) gave him the right to make another jump, since in the Diamond League only the top three make the last attempt. Tentoglou claimed the victory on his sixth jump.
With this victory (his 12th in a row this year), Tentoglou secured his participation in the Diamond League final which will take place in Brussels on September 13 and 14.
