2019 Pro Outdoor Results/News

[ATK]

Fuigured we could have a topic for the Pros as well.

I'm seeing that Echevarria has apparently already jumped 8.92m +3.3 in Cuba.

Echevarria's indoor season was a bit underwhelming: 8.08, 8.12 and 8.21. But this result gives hope he can pick it up in the outdoor season and hopefully do even better than last year. He's still just 20.

8.92 sounds much more impressive as 29-3¼!

I predict Echevarria will break the world long jump record before Halloween of 2019.

I predict Echevarria will break the world long jump record before Halloween of 2019.

There are too many OTHER variables (than talent and skill) to make that prediction stick.

What hurricane was he jumping in? Huracan Fidel?

Downhill runway...

Downhill runway...

I wana see the plasticene!
I wanna see the pit and sand-leveler!
I wanna see the surveyor's report!
I wanna see graviton readings!
I wanna see the measuring tape!
Are the officials from Rieti?

Are the officials from Rieti?

I think you mean Sestiere... or Roma...

[Grad]

If he jumped in Mexico City it would have been 9.92 easily.

[Per Andersen]

At least it wasn't a 0.0 Indianapolis wind. Give them that.

Shaky amateur video of the jump. Reminiscent of Lewis's wind-milling hitch-kick.
