Bronze medalist in the long jump at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Torun this winter, Bozhidar Sarabiykov, began his summer season with a second-place finish at the Diamond League in Shanghai/Ciqiao, China, today. The protégé of Dimitar Karamfilov finished second with a jump of 8.07 meters (+0.1 m/s), making only one additional successful attempt at 7.95 meters (0.0 m/s). His final attempt was completely off the board, without any foot fault. The men's long jump event was not part of the Diamond League disciplines in China today.
This performance is just a warm-up for Sarabiykov! Can he break his own records and secure more medals this season? Let's hope so, and keep an eye on this rising star!
