Tobi Amusan ran her 100mh record in the Avanti (also Adidas). Wonder if we'll see sprinters move to shoes with pebax foam (with an insanely stiff plate) to get nearly 100% energy return
Tentoglu got it wrong. The shoe colours have nothing to do with it. The two shoe models he shows pictures of are both "Adidas Ambition 2". The older Ambition ("1") was a different shoe with no Lightstrike and quite a different construction.
The important part here is that he then went on to jump 8.41 with 'legal' shoes. Too much ado about nothing - Miltos is a great athlete.
So the "cheater" shoes didn't actually give him an advantage?
Evidently not. It is unclear if the long distance shoes give an advantage in long jumping (or why they would be banned, given they are allowed for running, where they *do* give an advantage....)
List of shoes and events they are allowed in, for anyone interested - it is mad in my opinion that these shoes are allowed for LD but not the jumps, but these are the rules...
so i guess they werent cheater shoes since he just broke the world lead again with legal shoes. I think this is a perfect example of how rediculous the rules are and how there isnt real reasoning behind it. They even considered one of tendoglous shoes legal while the other wasnt even though it was the same model but different color. I think the title of this post has to be corrected.

Basic IQ test fail here...one result doesn't make the other result unaided. He may have jumped 8.55 when with the illegal shoes when he went 8.41, and he may have gone 8.20 when he jumped 8.40 if he had legal shoes on. Your grasp on any basic concepts is astounding. As anyone who has any grasp on reality knows, you don't just jump the same distance every meet if you have the same shoes.
The DQ of the mark could be the stack height. Last summer a women triple jumper had her WCQ long jump mark disallowed since she did it in her TJ shoes which were too thick.
He lost the prize money from Torun and he is out for the 30.000 dollars tour prize. That was the case. Not the WL. Long jump is very basic at the 00s. Back in the times, 8.41 wasnt enough to medal.
Nah shoes colorway is called the black panther edition. Its not racist hes just being sarcastic that the black panther shoes are so strong that his jump was not allowed.

He may have leaped over tall buildings in a single bound, but we will never know, will we, since you are simply guessing what he might have done.
