lol. ok. Do you realise that he had hardly trained for months building upto his 8.20 ish jump at USA Olympic trials…he was heavy then as well right?
But trust, i’ve seen the foul jumps that were better than his 8.74m this season. His approach speeds were also the same this year compared to years past.
Dwight had 12 meets over 8.20m in 2004. And 11 over 8.20m in 2009 plus a new pr jump improving 14cm on 2004 best…
So was he was better this year for sure? But i don’t think you could say that was becuase of his reduced BW alone. He is peaking in terms of age, he is more experienced, he has more training time under his belt etc etc etc…
Jumping 8.60m in 2004 you would expect a healthy Dwight to jump further 5 years later right?
