Miltiadis TENTOGLOU - Greece - 2023 World long jump champion

Miltiadis Tentoglou's opening jump was 8.50m, not enough to win because

Wayne Pinnock's second jump was also 8.50m. However Wayne's second

best was 8.40m - he would get the gold. Not so. Miliadis lands at 8.52m

on his final jump. Champions are champions because they hate losing.
