10.11 into -1.9 is pretty impressive for Mullings, about a 9.95 with a little tailwind.

3

Check out the men’s long jump! That’s a lot of guys over 8m, though a lot of them had some wind assistance.

4

Africa Continental record for Mokoena, but Aussie “Fab” Lapierre (2005 NCAA champ) struck after two fouls to win with 8.57 on his third round. Then he jumped a wind-legal PB 8.35 and another Aussie kid, Mitchell Watt was fourth with his 8.34. Either of those wind-legal leaps by the two Aussies would have been long enough for at least bronze in every Olympics ever held. Thunder from Downunder. Shame Dwight wasn’t out there, he might have gone out the far end :cool: But Berlin is still a month away, so these guys have to make sure they don’t overcook it before then. Lapierre has been working with his Texas A&M coach on extending his run-up to gain time to build speed. Apparently the adjustment was a smart move!

5

good time by David Gillick in the 400m 44.77…sub 45 for first time

6

No fluke either as he knocked off Saladino.

7

Is Obikwelu making a come back after this year’s European Cup, or is still just for ‘fun’? And what about Olu? Anyone knows what’s up with him these days? Also, why didn’t Collio finished his race?

8

Whom is he working with?

9

Probabably jumpin Jim VanHootegem

10

8.35 may not be enough for a medal at worlds this year, though. Sebastian Bayer just jumped 8.49, and I wouldn’t be surprised if 8.50 was required for a medal in Berlin. Exciting times for fans of the long jump!

Fabrice Lapierre long jumps into historyArticle from: Font size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print Submit comment: Submit comment By Mike Hurst

July 06, 2009 12:00am

IT was a great step for Australian athletics and a giant leap for Sydney’s “Fabulous” Fabrice Lapierre.

The Mauritius-born, Quakers Hill-bred long-jumper went further than any Australian when he jumped 8.57m to defeat the Beijing gold and silver medallists yesterday.

The leap to win the Madrid Grand Prix would have claimed a medal at every Olympics and world championships ever held.

But it was such a near thing after he fouled his first two jumps and was facing sudden-death elimination if he didn’t register a big jump on his next attempt.

He responded like a true champion, leaping a massive 8.57m (wind assistance 3.6m/s) to grab the lead and confirmed that with a wind-legal personal best 8.35m (1.3m/s) on his next. “It was a sensational competition,” Lapierre, nicknamed Fab, told The Daily Telegraph.

"It’s a funny story. I just flew in from America two days ago and they lost my bags in transit. I just got them back today, but I’ve been wearing the same clothes the last two days and I haven’t been able to train or anything. My spikes and everything were in the lost bags.

“So I opened with two fouls on the first two jumps and I had to make the third to get into the final and I jumped the 8.57m.”

That was good enough to knock the wind out of Olympic silver medallist, South Africa’s Godfrey Khotso Mokoena (African continental record 8.50m, +1.3m/s) and Olympic gold medallist and defending world titleholder, Panama’s Irving Saladino (8.43m, +4.0m/s).

Another Australian, 21-year-old Brisbane law student Mitchell Watt, placed fourth with a huge leap of 8.38m (+2.8m/s) and he also had a wind-legal personal best of 8.34m.

Lapierre and Watt’s best wind-legal jumps would have been good enough to win a medal in every Olympic Games in history, so it is now clear Australia is building towards a twin medal assault at the 2012 London Olympics.

14

Does anybody know if Van Hootegem is a more plyo / strength bound coach or favours speed development?

15

I’m sure Mike would know.

16

I found this info in an iaaf website story on Lapierre. I’m not sure what it tells us. The other thing is he only recently lengthened his runup to try to get more speed, so maybe his coach had him working off a shorter (much shorter) approach because he felt Fabrice didn’t have the specific strength to jump off a faster approach until very recently, but they’ve been together since 2003…

by the way, the stats on Lapierre are that he weighs 66kg and he is 180cm tall.

…".Lapierre is nevertheless extremely quick and his 105kg clean suggests he has the power-to-weight ratio to make good his bid for a medal at the World Championships in Berlin in August."

17

Thanks. It’s interesting to see one coach doing that while jumping distance is greatly determined by speed, with height not being excepcionally important. See how far could Lewis jump with very little heigh in comparison with, f.e. Emmiyan.

Those stats make me wonder how far could Jonathan Edwards have jumped with his 2x BW clean and 11 m/s + speed.

Mokoena can do better, says coach

Considering his consistency this season, Khotso Mokoena’s coach Elna de Beer, believes the Olympic long jump silver medalist can break his African record at the Athletissima Super Grand Prix in Lausanne, Switzerland on Tuesday night.

Mokoena leaped 8,50 metres in Madrid on Saturday evening to smash his South African record by 12 centimetres and Senegalese Cheikh Tidiane Toure’s African mark by four centimetres.

And the 24-year-old will face a line-up packed with most of the world’s best jumpers on Tuesday, which should push him to even greater lengths.

Mokoena jumped 8,33m three times this season before he broke the continental record and De Beer believes his new mark is under threat in Lausanne. She hopes, however, that he doesn’t peak too soon with the World Athletics Championships in Berlin still more than a month away.

“I think he can break it,” De Beer said on Monday. "I hope he saves his best for the World Championships, but he’s been so consistent this year.

"At previous competitions he’s been jumping 8,40m regularly but he has overstepped the board.

“He’s in good form, and I’m not saying he will break his record on Tuesday, but I know he can.”

Dwight Phillips enters the competition as firm favourite after jumping 8,74m in Eugene, Oregon a month ago, but the American won’t
have everything his own way.

Six of the world’s 10 best jumpers this season will be in the mix – including Australian Fabrice Lapierre, who defeated Mokoena in Madrid with an 8,57m jump that recorded a +3,7m wind reading. That mark won’t count in the record books, but Lapierre will be tough to beat.

CONTINUES BELOW

Also likely to push Phillips and Mokoena are Frenchman Salim Sdiri, Morocco’s Yahya Berrabeh and Chris Tomlinson of Great Britain, who have all leaped further than 8,20m this year.

Considering the quality of the line-up, Ivan Pedroso’s meeting record of 8,56m set in 1995 is under serious threat.

wo other South Africans are also included in the start list for Tuesday night’s meeting – Johan Cronje and LJ van Zyl.

Cronje, who set a personal best 3:35,11 over 1 500m in Thessaloniki, Greece four weeks ago, faces a strong field that includes four runners who have clocked faster times than him this year.

The 27-year-old will take confidence from his victory in Madrid on Saturday – beating former Olympic and World Championship bronze medalist Rui Silva into second place – and should put together another good showing.

Van Zyl hasn’t been in his best form this year in the 400m hurdles, and will look look to improve on his 48,71 season’s best set in Bydgoszcz, Poland four weeks back.

Van Zyl, who set his career best time of 48,05 in winning the 2006 Commonwealth Games title, also goes up against an impressive line-up that includes Jamaica’s Isa Phillips, who holds three of the world’s seven fastest times in 2009.

Mokoena, Cronje and Van Zyl have already booked themselves places in South Africa’s team for the World Championships, having set A standard qualifying times. – Sapa

Yes! I was primarily a long jumper and very thin (who would believe it today, just look at me in that kilt!) which is why I have a particular interest in long jumpers. I sat next to Mike Powell a bit at one Olympics (after he had retired of course) and have a photo of him and me holding up signs with our respective PBs. His is quite impressive. Mine, err, forget it (8.95 v 7.05) lol.
