On August 7, 1995, Jonathan Edwards lasted the runway in the world championships in Gothenburg and jumped 18.16 m (1.3) to improve his world record of 17.98 m.
In the form of his life, he went more about both of them, registering a sign of 18,29 m (1.3). The performance was 67 cm than any of his competitors on that day, and 30 years later, it still survives as a world record.
Very good triple flights have been attacked over the years, such as Christian Taylor and Kleen will be Pedro Dirian, Pedro Dirian, Pedro Dirian, Pedigue. But Taylor is approaching in 1990 with 18.21 m.
It is one of the longest Matletics world records, but it must come somewhere, isn’t it?
