Greek long jump champion Miltos Tentoglou continued his remarkable 2026 season by winning the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne with a best jump of 8.24 metres.
Just days after securing his fourth consecutive European title, Tentoglou returned to competition and once again stood on top of the podium.
The Lausanne victory marked his third Diamond League win of the 2026 season, following victories in Xiamen and Monaco.
Conditions in Lausanne proved challenging, with cold temperatures and constantly changing wind strength and direction making the competition difficult for the athletes.
Tentoglou opened with 8.04m (+2.2) before producing the jump that effectively secured victory in his second attempt.
The Greek star landed at 8.24m with a +2.1m/s tailwind, giving him a clear early advantage.
He followed that with 8.10m (+0.9) and 8.17m (+1.2). He then opted out of his final two attempts after effectively securing first place.
Switzerland’s Simon Ehammer came closest to challenging Tentoglou, reaching 8.13m (+1.3), but he could not match the Greek champion.
Young Serbian jumper Boskovic finished third with 8.07m (+0.5).
Tentoglou’s 8.24m therefore proved enough to keep him at the top until the end and add another major victory to an outstanding 2026 campaign.
With another Diamond League win under his belt, the Greek long jumper continues to set the pace among the world’s elite.
