Miltiadis Tentoglou wins his fourth European long jump title at the European Athletics event in Birmingham on Tuesday, equalling a record set previously by Heike Drechsler. Tentoglou produces a winning leap and takes the gold in the men’s long jump.
Italian sprinter Marcell Jacobs, who is aiming for a third European 100 metres title, does not succeed. Both sources say Jacobs falters in the 100 metres, attributing the outcome to injury. The reports position Jacobs’ underperformance as a key subplot to Tentoglou’s long jump triumph, with the focus on the contrast between Tentoglou’s repeat title success and Jacobs’ inability to match his usual form.
