In Paris this summer TEBOGO became the first African to win the Menโs OLYMPIC 200m GOLD when storming past both Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarekโฆ๐จ๐ฅ๐
A former Under-20 World Champion as recently as 2022 [setting records along the way!] emphasise just how quickly TEBOGO has now established himself on the World sprint sceneโฆin addition, itโs his range of sprint speed that justifiably has so many track fans excited about what the future holdsโฆ

We salute Pitkรคmรคki for his monster throws and his positive impact on the Javelinโฆ๐ช
The man who we all have to thank for starting the tradition of supporting athletes on the runway with clapping!!! ๐ ๐
With his charisma, and as Triple Jump World Record holder for 10 years, BANKS was an inspiration to a generation of jumpersโฆsuch is his immense standing in the event, an entire chapter is dedicated to him in our no.1 Bestseller, TRIPLE JUMP TRAILBLAZERS, for which we were honoured to have him write our Foreword!!! ๐
At #14, the only male athlete in history to have held the World Record for both the Triple Jump and the Long Jump! Nambu was an exceptional talentโฆ๐ฏ๐ต
Conley was an incredible all-round athlete and an inspirational Triple Jumper – ranked 12th ALL-TIME via HBM!!!โจ
A fantastic sprinter and possibly the best combination Long and Triple Jumper ever; Conley won it all in the Triple Jumpโฆmultiple NCAA titles, twice World Indoor Champion, an Indoor World Record [17.76m], a complete set of World Championship medals [including Gold in 1993], backed up by an Olympic Gold in Barcelona 1992 with an awesome jump of 18.17m!!! Only denied the World Record by a wind reading +0.1 m/s over the allowable limit!!!๐ค
Conleyโs various event PBs really are quite somethingโฆ

By POPULAR DEMAND, a dedicated JAYDON HIBBERT Post!!!๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฅโฌ๏ธ
Still only 19, already 15th on the All-Time distance list [17.87m], THREE times inside the Worldโs Top 10, and with the U20 Triple Jump World Record to his nameโฆeven JONATHAN EDWARDS has put his WORLD RECORD on notice given the way HIBBERT has lit up the runway in recent seasonsโฆwe await the best to come with real excitement in 2025 and wish @_.wunderkid_ all the very best as he sets his sights on JAMES BECKFORDโs historic 1995 Jamaican Record of 17.92m, and distances even farther beyondโฆโจ๐
RAY EWRY won 8 GOLDS across 3 Olympics [Paris 1900; St. Louis 1904; London 1908]โผ๏ธ
His 8 individual event Olympic Golds went unmatched for over 100 years and remain so in Track & Field!!! Itโs also remarkable that a century later, his performances remain credible to this very day!!!๐ช
History has somewhat faded of the 6ft 1in American from Purdue University, mostly because the Standing Jumps are no longer part of the Olympic programme, but his feats are legendary – not least because he contracted polio when young and needed a wheelchair; with fears heโd be paralysed for life!!!โจ
In August this year, ARSHAD NADEEM became the FIRST-EVER athlete to win individual OLYMPIC GOLD from Pakistan!!!๐ฅ๐ฅ
Still only 27, NADEEM seemingly has the Javelin world at his feet!!! Already, Olympic & Commonwealth Champion, the Olympic Record Holder [92.97m], and ranked 6th on the All-Time distance list!!!โ
