Miltiadis Tentoglou long jump European Athletics Championships gold medal Birmingham

Miltiadis Tentoglou has made history at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham by winning his fourth consecutive gold medal in the long jump. With a winning leap of 8.44 meters on his fourth attempt, the Greek athlete became the first person in the 94-year history of the championships to achieve four consecutive titles in this event, surpassing the previous record held by Soviet athlete Ivan Ter-Ovanesyan.

Despite challenging conditions, including a consistent headwind at the Alexander Stadium, Tentoglou secured the top spot after initially trailing behind Switzerland's Simon Ehammer, who took the silver medal with a jump of 8.29 meters. The bronze medal went to Bulgaria's Bozhidar Saraboyukov, who jumped 8.26 meters.

The competition saw several notable performances, including a seventh-place finish by Spain's Eusebio Cáceres with 7.92 meters. Tentoglou's victory marks a significant milestone in his career, following his previous European titles in Berlin (2018), Munich (2022), and Rome (2024).
