No one expected or predicted. The last leap of a Chinese named Jiannan Wang. He surprised everyone and flew to the world championship. In men’s long jump, the distance covered in the sixth jump is 8.36 meters. There were 12 people in the final. There are one to seven rankers in it. Top seed and Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglu of Greece and second seed Tobias Montler of Sweden were in the lead for gold. Cuba’s Michael Mazo. Jianan Wang had the lowest rank of 72. Sreesankar’s rank was 13.

No one crossed eight meters in the first jump. Sreesankar first jumped 7.96 meters. Jiannan Wang 7.94m. Tentoglu is fouled. In the second jump, five people crossed eight meters. Sreesankar finished sixth after the jump was fouled. Tentoglu took the lead with 8.30m. Wang Foul. Foul by Sreesankar on the third bounce. With that, he was relegated to seventh place. Tentoglu this time also 8.29 meters. Wang 8.03.

From the fourth jump, the competition was reduced to eight. Wang fouled when Srinkar saw 7.89m and Tentoglu 8.24m. The Greek secured the gold by reaching 8.32 meters in the fifth jump. Wang, who had no hope of a medal, finished fifth with 8.03 meters. Foul by Sreesankar again. Sreesankar ended the final jump with 7.83 meters. What followed was the amazing jump of the Chinese star.

The 25-year-old was in fifth place as he prepared for his sixth jump. No one cared about the five-foot-nine Wang’s jump. The stadium was in awe as he took off like a bird. Tentoglu, who just missed out on the world title, looked at the board in disbelief–8.36 meters. By the time the Greek, who lost his confidence, finished the final leap at 8.20m, Wang had started celebrating with the national flag.

Tentoglu, who has also won gold at the European Championships, will have to wait for the world title. Wang won bronze at the 2015 Beijing World Championships. He won gold in the 2018 Asian Games held in Jakarta.
