2026 long jump – Greek record drama, Saraboyukov title chase

Entities: Miltos Tендoglu · Panathinaikos · Anastasia Dtragomirova · European Championships (Birmingham) · Greek Athletics Federation

Overview

Miltos Tentoglou continued his 2026 long‑jump surge, adding a world‑leading 8.61 m in Monaco (9 July) and an 8.31 m win in Budapest (14 July). On 25 July he matched the Greek national record of 8.66 m at the Stoiximan Greek Athletics Championships in Volos, registering the mark twice with a wind‑legal attempt and confirming his form ahead of the European Championships in Birmingham.

Milos Tendoğlu (GS Kifisia) also equaled the 8.66 m Greek record at the same Volos championships. After an 8.52 m opening jump, he recorded two 8.66 m jumps; the first was wind‑assisted (+2.7 m/s) and could not be ratified, but the third attempt was wind‑legal, officially tying Loui Tsatouma’s 2007 mark. He finished the competition with a best legal jump of 8.64 m and expressed disappointment at not breaching the record, while former record holder Tsatouma publicly congratulated him and praised his potential to go even further.

Bulgarian Bozhidar Saraboyukov broke his own national record twice this season – 8.36 m in Monaco and 8.49 m in Plovdiv – and was named Athlete of the Month for June. He entered the Bulgarian athletics championships in Sofia on 25‑26 July to contest both the men’s long‑jump and high‑jump titles, a rare double‑event bid, and reiterated his focus on the upcoming European Championships, planning further training in Harmanli.

All three athletes remain the principal storylines as the 2026 season moves toward its major championship milestones, with the Greek record drama adding depth to Tentoglou’s record‑challenging ambitions and Saraboyukov targeting national honours and European success.
