Miltis Tentoglou claimed another Diamond League victory in Lausanne on Friday, winning the long jump with a best leap of 8.24 meters. It was his first competition since taking the European title in Birmingham, and he picked up right where he left off. The conditions were not ideal, with temperatures hovering around 17 degrees Celsius, but Tentoglou was consistently over eight meters across all four of his attempts. He opened with 8.04m, then flew out to 8.24m on his second jump, with a wind reading of +2.1 m/s, which turned out to be enough for first place. He followed that with 8.10m and 8.17m before choosing to skip his final two attempts. Swiss decathlete Simon Ehammer, who also finished second to Tentoglou at the European Championships, took second place here in Lausanne with a mark of 8.13m on his fifth attempt. Serbian jumper Luka Boskovic was third at 8.07m. The rest of the field included 19-year-old Cuban Jorge Hondelín at 8.06m, Jersson Baldé at 8.02m, and Wayne Pinnock at 8.01m. Tentoglou now has wins at both the European Championships and the Lausanne Diamond League stop within the same stretch, cementing his position as the dominant long jumper in the world right now. #Tentoglou #DiamondLeague #Greece
