Desiree Rossit cleared the bar positioned at 1,97m reaching the first place in the world list. Rossit made almost the perfect competition, clearing all the jumps at the first attempt, except for one miss at 1.89m. After she tried to enter the 2.00m club, but without success. Here the progession: 1.75 – 1.79 – 1.85 – 1.89 – 1.94 – 1.97.

Some minutes before on the long jump lane Marcell Lamont Jacobs astonished the field landing three times over the 8m mark, the best at 8.48m. This measure would have been a World Lead and a National Record, had the wind been legal. In fact the competitions have been hitten by strong wind gusts that invalidated all the jumps.

Jacobs some weeks ago has been protagonist in the 100m of Gavardo Meeting running a good 10″23, letting fans wander how far could he jump with that speed.
