Jonathan Edwards is like the best triple jumper ever, what factors makes him jump so far

Who knows, his gangly white physique has defied scientists for over a decade

Training, training, training, and some more training.

Strong calve muscles, and determination to become the best you can be.

do u remember bob beamon, former world record holder in long jump back in 1968? he jumped never before of after this even in the near of 8m. J.E. is almost the same.

as a long jumper l can tell you, that a good day, a good rear wind, plus a good attitude which can not be described exactly make u feel long before the event you're in a very good shape.

If u believe in clean sport ( l think u shouldn't) these r the factors which can take into account besides the genetic fortune & the appropriate training.

maybe after a few decades ''the secrets & factors being great'' will see the day of light, but what kind of athletics will exist then l do not really know.
