Ngonidzashe is pictured above during the final of the mens Long Jump at the 2008 Olympic
Games in Beijing. Makusha jumped 8.19m in the opening round and featured in the medal
positions throughout the final, only to agonisingly miss out on a bronze medal when Cuba's
Ibrahim Camejo jumped just 1cm further on his sixth and final attempt.
