It will be interesting to see how she fares in the triple jump.

A more thorough and in-depth story here:

I am almost in Klüft's backyard at times (my best friend's colleague lives next door to the Klüfts). I've attempted to give you the what, when and why behind everything here.

Cheers,

i find it hard to believe she went 15m in practice in tj unless she overstepped by 1/2 a foot & had a following tsunami

she's been jumping rubbish lj this year, so no chance it couda happened recently & tj is something that takes years to acquire & i doubt she'd spent enough time at it when went 6.97lj a few years back to have done it

so when was this 15m ?

even without "freak injury", not a snowball in hell's chance she was ever going to break jjk's wr

& how big was the tsunami ?

any horizontal jump at sea-level boils down to "basic jump" of :

~ actual jump / ( ( 1 + ( ( 0.01 * tsunami ) / 2.0 ) )^2 )

it says that reebok have nothing against her decision; quite the opposite. she'll be invited to more meets since the hep is contested only a few times a season.

Reebok's Lars Jorbrink, who's known her all her career and got her the contract, believes his bosses will extend her contract after it expires at the end of this year.

He said in 2004 there were other companies who offered her more money than Reebok but she stayed because of the close, comfortable relationship she's enjoyed with Reebok.
