Long jumpers

[Guest]

Does anyone know if there are some good long jumpers coming up. I remember a guy in the 90s from Russia. I think his name was Robert Emmiyan (or something like that). He went 29.1 at a meet in Russia during a time when Bob Beamon's record still stood. I saw him in a meet in California on TV where he went over 28. He was legit, but good for just a short time. Maybe he got injured or something.

to go to work and can't remember.He will be a incredible
jumper at the senior level and should medal.John
Thornell of Aus. is another good young kid.We will have

I believe young Ukraine Long Jumper's name is Victor Kosnetsov. Not totally positive but fairly sure.

Emmiyan was a terrific jumper. He is Armenian and won the '86 Euros and was second to Lewis at the '87 Worlds.
