Khaddi Sagnia makes another giant leap with 6.75 at the Gothenburg GP.
But the dream limit of seven meters has to wait.
– But I have fun, the body feels good and now it’s just a matter of being patient, he tells Svt.
Maybe it was just luck that there wasn’t a twenty-foot tent tonight.
It was clear from the start that it would be difficult to get a record approved in the long jump.
The wind was capricious and fluctuated from -1.7 to a total of +5.3 already in the first three rounds. But it blew more and usually too much.
Khaddi’s longest jump of 6.75 also came with an illicit +2.6 on his back and will not be included in the official statistics.
The best outdoor season yet
As it was his first jump in the competition, there was hope for more, but he had difficulties with board strokes in the future. She still hit 6.62 in the last jump, with all the board remaining.
But Khaddi Sagnia has still had his best season outdoors.
She set a personal record with 6.81 already in the first competition on June 18.
At the Bauhaus Gala on Sunday, he improved it to 6.83.
– Yes, I feel that I have raised the level now, that I can compete internationally and in the great championships, he said then.
Yes, his two longest jumps this season – 6.81 and 6.83 – rank among the four longest in the world this year and 6.83 gives him a third place right now.
Approaching Johansson and Klüft
But its Swedish indoor record of 6.92, which already came in 2018, and the gossip about the capacity.
But then there was no uniformity.
The question is whether Khaddi was not a seven-meter shopper long ago, if she had not been so persecuted.
Now comes the next opportunity in Finnkampen next weekend.
– Yeah, it was fun getting rid of him. Many of us love Finnkampen, he says.
But Erica Johansson’s Swedish record of 6.99 from 2000 stands still for a while.
Carolina Klüft was the closest with 6.97, who jumped in an SUV in Tallinn in 2004.
