Long jumper "homemade" unique Superman dance style at the 2023 World Athletics Championships

On the morning of August 25, 2023 (Vietnam time), at the men's long jump final at World Athletics Championships Budapest 23 in Hungary, there was a very interesting competition, attracting the attention of many viewers.

On her third jump, Jamaica's Carey McLeod performed a normal run. But when it came to the jump and especially the flying and landing, the athlete ended the competition in a position … unprecedented in this long jump content.

The boy born in 1998 flew into the air but was in a horizontal position and landed with almost the front part of his body. This athlete's performance was so "weird" that live TV commentators were surprised and shouted in surprise.

According to the slow-motion video, McLeod's foot stepped on the white line, slightly slipping on the ground, resulting in the athlete's strange flight and landing.

Many people liken Carey McLeod's flight and landing to Superman. After this illegal jump, the 25-year-old athlete had ankle pain and only made the 6.57m jump on the fourth jump.

McLeod's fifth jump also broke the rules and his last sixth jump hit 7.19m. Before that, on the first jump, he successfully made a jump of 7.90m. And the second jump marks the best jump of 8.27m.

However, this final achievement of 8.27m still did not help the Jamaican guy get a medal. McLeod's performance is equal to that of compatriot Tajay Gayle, but in terms of sub-index he is ranked below. In McLeod's 8.27m jump, the referees measured wind strength of +0.8 (meaning the wind is downwind and beneficial to the jump), while Gayle's 8.27m jump (sixth jump) only had power. wind -0.3 (ie the wind is opposite, more unfavorable for athletes) so Tajay Gayle was ranked to win bronze due to this sub-index.

Men's long jump gold medal is Miltiadis Tentoglou (Greece) with a parameter of 8.52m. The silver medal belongs to another Jamaican athlete, Wayne Pinnock with the best jump of 8.50m.
