Greece’s Miltiadis Tentoglou regained his global indoor long jump title in Glasgow, while American Grant Holloway advanced to the 60m hurdles semifinals. Tentoglou, the reigning Olympic, world, and European champion, jumped a best of 8.22 metres on his first attempt.
Italy’s Mattia Furlani, 19, won silver with the same record, while Jamaica’s Carey McLeod took bronze with 8.21m.
Holloway, a three-time 110m hurdles world champion and Olympic silver winner, had little drama in the hurdles’ initial round. The 26-year-old, who recently broke his own world record in the 60m hurdles, has gone unbeaten in indoor events since March 2014, an incredible streak spanning 73 races.
