At no.8 ALL-TIME…a true Trailblazer for the event…it’s MEYER PRINSTEIN!!!🙌 🇺🇸👇
PRINSTEIN was a superb all-round jumper, to the extent he features in our Bestseller, TRIPLE JUMP TRAILBLAZERS, and is ranked 19th All-Time in that event too! However, the Long Jump was his favoured discipline, and in an age that pre-dated official ratified World Records, his 7.50m mark in 1900 would otherwise have been just that!✨
For a decade PRINSTEIN was ranked inside the World Top 10 – during that time, he won Olympic SILVER in 1900, Olympic GOLD in 1904, and GOLD again at the Intercalated Games [*IG] in 1906!!! His Olympic Long Jump GOLD of 1904 was matched by him also winning Olympic Triple Jump GOLD at the same Games [to date, the only man ever to have won both events at the same Olympics]!!!🔥
