You're not gonna see this very often. 19-year-old Juan Miguel Echevarria basically jumped over the entire long jump sand pit in the Diamond League...

And apparently the condition were perfect to do this. Per flotrack.org...
quote:

A combination of superb jumping and a +2.1 wind aided Juan Miguel Echevarria to an absolutely monstrous 8.83-meter/28.96-foot result—the best all-conditions mark in 23 years.

Geez he hit the back of the pit. Could have broken his ankles.

Looks like maybe (?) he gets penalized a little by the edge of the sand pit forcing his body to rock back and deduct a few inches off his jump.

This was always my favorite event in track. When else to you get to just run flat out and throw yourself forward as far as possible? That kid fricking FLEW. Amazing.
