Decathlete Simon Ehammer of Switzerland, won the Diamond League Long Jump Final in Zurich today. His jump was an excellent 8.32 meters. Tentoglou of Greece came in last of the 6 competitors. He seems to be off this season for some reason.

Speaking of the call . . . "I've just been informed by Brendan Foster, that's a new Gateshead Harriers record." You think?! Longest jump ever, and it's a new record for the Gateshead Harriers track club back in England. Hilarious! But he says it completely matter of fact.

And it seems that he is just a junior!

Skattabo has been cleared to practice. https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2025/08/19/asu-football-star-cam-skattebo-latest-news-practice-new-york-giants/85728457007/

Here's a detailed article from the NY Times, about Jonathan Edwards' 30 year old, world record triple jump. https://archive.ph/i55tt

Here's the race. Jones is in lane 2.

Here's some surprising, but good news: Elliot Jones of Great Britain, ran 10.04 (1.9w) in Stratford today. His previous PB was 10.20. He had also run a windy 9.93 (3.7w) in June.

That is incredible.

At the Athlete Night Games in Japan, Hiroki Yanagita won the 100m in 10.00 (+0.3), a 0.02s PB. Yuki Koike was 2nd in 10.08 SB. In the Men's 200m final, Asian champ, Towa Uzawa, won easily in 20.11 (+0.9).

Dominic Kopek 10.07 and Simon Hansen 10.08, both with 2.8 wind.

I just checked and Sergey Bubka broke the outdoor world record 17 times, and the indoor world record 18 times!

Rohan Browning 10.05 (1.5w) in the heats at a meet in Switzerland. Calab Law 10.18. In the final Browning ran 10.10 (0.6w).

Instagram is reporting that 15 year old Bronson Hearn Smith ran a 20.90 200 meters. If that's true, he would rank #1 U18 in Europe!

"Because he was placed on IR, Larison's season is now over. He'll remain on the team's IR throughout the year, and will still be signed to his three-year UDFA contract."

Toscianka of Poland went on to win the European U20 Decathlon Championship, setting a world U20 record with a score of 8514 points!
