Took some time to find this. The current thread title is a bit misleading :wink:

Phillips continues a very impressive comeback. 8.45 (+1.0) in 2nd round.

Great LJ competition! Saladino leads with 8,56WL, right now. 3 rounds to go.

Good depth too, Berrabah 4th with 8,20 and Garenamotse 5th with 8,11, didn't catch who was 3rd but guess it's Sdiri.

Phillips 8.54 (+0.9) in 5th...

Its been 17 years since someone finished 2nd with a mark like 8.54. Hopefully Saladino and Phillips go head to head several times this year.

The feed just showed Phillips' last jump which was a few cm/an inch over the superimposed "leading mark" line they show on the TV. It was only a marginal, 1 cm foul. The man is flying, that's for sure!

Excellent, great picture.

Just showed a big foul from Phillips. Great to see all the jumps, not just the winning ones.

That's the way that event should be covered. No head-on shots. Someone send the tape to NBC!

Great jumping by all around. Is the LJ finally on its way back?
