2026 long jump: Tentoglou wins historic fourth title

Overview

Miltos Tentoglou has won the gold medal in the men’s long jump at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, securing a historic fourth consecutive European title. With this victory, he becomes the first male athlete in the 94-year history of the championships to achieve such a feat in this event, surpassing the previous record held by Soviet athlete Ivan Ter-Ovanesyan and equaling the record held by Heike Drechsler in the women's category. This win marks Tentoglou’s 12th major championship gold medal. In the final, Tentoglou secured the win with a jump of 8.44 meters on his fourth attempt, overcoming challenging conditions at the Alexander Stadium, including headwinds of up to 3 m/s. He overcame an early lead established by Switzerland’s Simon Ehammer, who finished with a jump of 8.29 meters to take the silver medal. Bulgaria’s Bozhidar Sarabeykov claimed third place with a jump of 8.26 meters. Despite his dominance, Tentoglou missed out on the 50,000 euro ‘Gold Crown’ bonus awarded by European Athletics for the top performance in each discipline. Based on World Athletics scoring tables, the prize in the men’s jumps category went to Sweden’s Armand Duplantis for a 6.15m pole vault, while Tentoglou placed third in the rankings with 1234 points. Following his European success, Tentoglou continued his momentum at the Lausanne Diamond League on August 21, 2026, securing his third consecutive Diamond League victory of the season with a winning jump of 8.24 meters. This victory marked his 12th career win in the Diamond League series. Tentoglou’s season continued in the Diamond League long jump final in Brussels, where he secured second place with a jump of 8.40 meters. He held the lead until the final attempt of the competition, when Jamaican athlete Tajay Gayle jumped 8.46 meters to take first place.
