Juan Miguel Echevarría Jumps 8.83 To Win Men's Long Jump - IAAF Diamond League Stockholm 2018

[@MrAFORCEONE]

I'm afraid the long jump pit has to be extended for this young man. At 0.33 he was way beyond that mark because he realised he was going to smash his pretty face on the hard floor and took evasive action. For a 19 year old, I'll take a bow. Incredible.

[@Vinnicombe1]

Pretty face?.. 🤣

[@vishnuprakash81]

Exactly, even i felt like he could have gone beyond the pit, but he intentionally went low not to hit his "pretty face" on the floor lols

[@coolbmwdude]

@@Vinnicombe1 he cute

[@fadex-pubgmobile6507]

That’s not true lol he slid 2 extra feet after he hit the ground so he knew he wouldn’t hit the concrete

This guy might break the world record in a few years, this is the longest jump I have seen in the last 10 years.

[@richardgallimore5976]

Apparently it's the longest jump since 1994. At least I read that somewhere.

[@mysteriousdoge1298]

He can break the world record this year if he jumps like that alraedy.

[@bud385]

he landed on the Board at the end of the pit how is the record longer than his jump ? the guy who set the record must have cleared the ENTIRE PIT!

[@Arribadelabola]

Yes in The 90's the only two guys that jumped that far were Mike Powell and Ivan Pedroso, another Cuban.

[@miciarokiri5182]

I think there are longer pits that exist. They are just going to have to become the norm now

[@rasplasdsg]

With a long sand pit, he could have done around 9 meters, even he had was lucky because could be injured.Well done Cuban boy, I hope he won't be robbed like Ivan Pedroso WR.

[@Swav.Zielin]

But the fall back mark looks was around the same mark as his feet, so not really a difference. The fact that he's 19 though, very promising considering prime years are 25-30. Pedrosa had official blocking the wind gage and was rightfully dq'd for record. These Cuban jumpers are on the brink! WR only improved 2 inches since 1968.

[@hansjohan3150]

No WR, to much wind in the back.

That was the record jump, he fell backwards because the pit was way too short. Imagine if it was like that when Bob Beamon jumped way beyond the record, it happened once & could happen again. Extend the damn pit !!!

You don't need to spend thousands extending the pit , when the takeoff board is 1m from the sand -- move it back 2m or add a 3m board, and you're done.

[@bestplanet8440]

We have genius in the comments

[@KiLLED5639]

lol I watched a diamond league meet this year where they said the exact same thing. Apparently, there's some politics going on with moving the jumpbar back.

[@KoolKaiser]

Sounds obvious to do but I would prefer to hear from the jumpers what they think...A simple move of the board may affect them in some way.

[@sigmablue6969]

Absolutely correct.

[@thecsciworker291]

@@KoolKaiser No it wouldn't. A jumpers measurement is taken from the board. So it wouldn't matter where it's placed. Meaning, if I take 10 strides, and I measure that to be 30m from the board, then it's always 30m from the board.

[@gardenoftwitty]

It's been a while since I've seen or heard of someone almost jumping out the pit. His mechanics on the landing are impeccable and could not be fine tuned much more at all. Amazing form.

[@rayj45]

The moment you realize long jump pits will now have to be extended, I'm sure he cut back so as not to hurt himself. Damn bruh!

[@doug148877]

Bro, they just make you jump from further back.

[@rayj45]

The pit is easier to extend than moving the board further back

[@bud385]

that day you STEP UP LIKE A BOSS & make the Long jump Pit yo Bitch!

[@NatsuXikuY]

Ray J how is it easier to extend the pit??

[@rayj45]

Natsu because the runway is more technical, if the board is moved back that would interfere with the jumper's approach while the pit does nothing, hence that's the better choice.

[@ElayneValera]

What a jump! Well done Cuban boy, you could go for more!

[@deepale1497]

It was a great jump..

[@age8428]

He also jumped 8.92 m in 2019´s Cuban Championship with 3.3 m/s wind in favor, and he wasn't at the last stage of his training. They were polishing technical aspects and he got a minor injury. We cubans also think he is going to break the 9 m barrier, Pedroso got close with 8.96 m in Sestriere (1995) and the IAAF didn't give him the WR for wind measuring anomalies, allegedly. So Juan Miguel is our best hope.

[@oobaka1967]

This is just stupid. Bear with me. His 8.83 jump didn't count as being the Cuban record because of the wind assist so why even hold this sport outside?

[@Renegade_rm56]

They have indoor competitions. Why hasn't he broken the indoor record?

[@oobaka1967]

Can you do your absolute 100% best every time you do something? Do you think a runner can hit their best time every single time the run?

[@Renegade_rm56]

oobaka1967 No but that's not the point, it's necessary to nullify times/distances above a certain wind speed otherwise its unfair

[@bestplanet8440]

@@Renegade_rm56 Yes, it's true. But he saying the competition should ONLY be held indoors, for exactly the same reason you are taking about.

[@thecsciworker291]

@@bestplanet8440 @oobaka1967 Except the whole point of track and field is overcoming the obstacle in front of you. No...seriously. It's to see which human is the better athlete by seeing who can jump over a higher wall (HJ/PV), who can throw weapon furthest (Discus, Shot, Jav), who can best clear a chasm (LJ) etc., etc.. With that said, the environmental aspects are also part of the challenge. Hence why we have indoors/outdoors/road race/cross country. The steeple chase has two big hurdles and a water pit. Cross country has mud, trees...outdoor Track 'n Field has wind, rain, uncontrolled (natural) temperature/climate. These things make athletics interesting. Indoors is for ideal competition...which produces results that are not as impressive as outdoor results for the exact reasons Im mentioning. You could run seriously fast times or jump distances indoors, but no-one is gonna really "recognise" it as a true record unless it's done outdoors. You may have realised I mention weapon & chasm earlier. Track n Field was born out of real world challenges (faced in war times). The board in long jump exist because if someone in the field was to jump across a gap, you want to know who can jump the largest gap, and a gap has a take off point (otherwise you'll fall to your doom), hence why the board exists and jumpers dont just jump willy-nilly. There are a myraid of ridiculous requests for changes...soon enough people will start requesting participation trophies..

[@Simply_Genius]

WHAAAT?!?!?! HUGE HUGE HUGE TALENT.. Only 19 y/o as well??? My goodness!!! That's nearly 50 cm further than the 2016 Olympics winning distance!! We're seeing the start of some new here ladies and gentlemen.. Watch out for this man.

[@soft76cider]

Finally, for the first time in many years, a great player emerged in this stagnant event. already surpassed his great countryman Pedroso(my idol btw, I was an average long jumper) still in his teens, just unbelievable. He seems a born jumper like Powell, not of the same type, sprinter-type, as Lewis(Pedroso was also a good sprinter). I have something to look forward to in Doha!

[@filipvrbik]

just WOW, looking for 9M, congratz

[@laurentoutang8273]

Commentator forget about Yvan Pedroso who jumped over 9 meters but with a judge in front of the anemometer, his jump wasn't validate… Still Echevarria is without a doubt the greatest jumper by far since Pedroso and elders Carl Lewis, Mike Powell, Robert Emian and of course the king Bob Beamon. Good luck to him to break the 9 meters mark!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

It was actually 8.96, no'one has hit the 9m mark yet, Powell did 8.99 but that was wind assisted.
