Phillips IDOWU - Great Britain & N.I. - 2008 Olympics Triple Jump silver (result)

Phillips is pictured above during the final of the mens Triple Jump at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Idowu, the favourite going in to the start of the competition, produced a season's best jump of 17.62m but disappointingly it was not enough to win gold thanks to Nelson Evora's effort of 17.67m. A silver medal was still a notable achievement for the Londoner however, who will no doubt be hoping to go one better in front of his home fans in 2012.
