With a jump of over six meters, in the Diamond League of Silesia, the 24-year-old sprinter broke the Panhellenic record and made history again.

I can’t believe I broke the six meter barrier. I jumped incredibly“, he initially reported immediately after the match and added:

I believed that today I will be one of those guys who can jump six meters and I did it. I am very pleased».

As for his dream season this year, he said:I’m the one who before the season started thought I could jump six meters. But I didn’t think I could win a medal at the Olympics and be on the podium at all the big events.

I am very happy to finish with six meters. Everything was perfect, I’m in love with Poland and this stadium. I started the season here. To be able to jump over six meters here is fantastic and will stay in my heart forever. I train with Piotr Lisek and others, so it’s a plus that I made it here».

On the other historic achievement set at the Games, the new World Record of Mondo Dublandis, Emmanoul Karalis said: “I’ve been to almost all of Mondo’s World Records, it’s great. We grew up together and I hope one day in the future I can be even better. Now I’m looking forward to finishing the season strong and finally coming home. It’s gonna be crazy».
