Greece's Miltiadis Tentoglou secured his spot in the long jump final at the Tokyo Olympics with a single jump, aiming to defend his title from the previous Games. Joining him in the final will be Italy's rising star Mattia Furlani, Jamaica's Wayne Pinnock, Carey McLeod, and Switzerland's Simon Ehammer, setting the stage for an exciting and competitive event.
Unfortunately, all three American jumpers were unable to qualify for the final round. Additionally, Tajay Gayle, a two-time world medalist from Team Jamaica, also did not make the cut. This unexpected turn of events adds an element of surprise to the upcoming final, with new contenders emerging to challenge the reigning champion.
