Congratulations to Miltos Tentoglou for winning silver at the World Athletics Championship 2022 in Oregon

Wang Jianan stunned the field to grab China's first ever long jump gold medal at the world athletics championships at Oregon.

Wang nails a gold-winning 8.36m to beat reigning Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece.

Tentoglou “landed” on the 8.32m mark, only 5cm away from the famous quintuple to become the first Greek athlete to be the current title holder in all 5 major competitions (Olympic, World Open-Close, European Open-Close). However, in his last jump, the Chinese, who this year had 7.67m, took the gold with a jump of 8.36m!
