          I had been looking for that after you mentioned it last week. I didn't have any success finding it. Thanks for posting. That was HUGE.

          What's the story on that?  What was his legal result for that meet, wind, etc?

          "In Sestriere 1995 Iván Pedroso jumped 8.96 metres with a wind of +1.2. This would have been the world record, beating Mike Powell with one centimetre. However, the Italian Athletics Federation did not forward the result to the IAAF for ratification, since the wind mark was declared invalid because an official stood in front of anemometer, probably intercepting correct measurement of the wind level."

          Im not sure it this was the same meet but im guessing it was, because it was Madrid, 1995 also…amazing if he jumped 8.96, also i beleive at 8.88 and then this 9.20 foul…crazy !
