Re: London DL- M Long Jump - Menkov 8.31

I thought 8.31 was a pretty good leap for a pre WC event.

By the way where was the golden boy of Brit LJing ?... did he sit this one out for a press conference on another continent to discuss his rising stature as the best 100m man in the UK... just askn.

Hamstring injury most probably out of Moscow

Phillips had only one jump less than 7.80, so maybe there is some promise here; he shocked the last time out so strange things have happened...

In addition to Menkov, Tomlinson had four fouls, bookended by 7.99 jumps.
Notice that Dwight Phillips is getting closer and closer -- to eight meters!

Re: London DL- M Long Jump [first event of day 2]

Menkov barely qualified for the final three jumps in 8th. No one has broken 8 meters so far.

Very lucky bloke......needs to show what he is made of now
