yabe~

[shaquillewheeler1]

Jumped against Christian my freshman year of highschool (he was a senior) at state. He broke the Long Jump record, Triple Jump record, 400 record, 4x1 and 4x4 record all in the same meet. Truely an athlete.

[teamFLOGGNAW]

so im a junior this year and last year i jumped 14m and got secon in the state championship my first phase is really good and my second but the transision from my second to third and really bad and short. how can i fix my transision to the 3rd phase and the last phase in general?

[HasheemHalim]

idowu was trying to get too much on his 4th attempt last phase, coulda been 18+. cant wait to see tamgho and taylor square off

[TheRatchetgladiator]

my goal: 14m

and i also do plyometrics, but they arent effective anymore i think. sry for my english :D

[TheRatchetgladiator]

i need some tips to improve my triple jump. ive been jumping about 7 months now und at the beginning i improved very quickly. but now it seems that i stagnate. my pr is 12.6 (42 feet), but i only competed 3 times so far in the triple. in training i also jumped about 12.9 several times, and i can feel it in my legs that i´m capable of jumping 13m^^. i use the doublearmshift. i also do a lot of core training and my coaches say that my technique is also quite good. but how can i improve now?

[Fiarzen]

@TheRatchetgladiator if plyos aren't giving an improvement maybe you need to increase strength, do olympic atg squats

[ShotAmazing]

YES YES YES

hahahhaaha

[TheTraceurBoy]

If Idowu were to do some lower abdominal exercises and raise his knees/heels up on his final landing, he could get the last bit he needs to break the world record...

[Ruups2]

@TheTraceurBoy these guys are at their peak of physical fitness so i find it hard to believe that some lower abdominal exercises are going to help him. of course he is doing them, but it just doesn't give him the edge, being at that peak of physical fitness.

[Bierney45]

I am an Athletics fanatic! But also a fanatic for those lycra bulges. MMMM! gay and proud!!!! X

[AthleticsGirl98]

I'm only 13, but that that French guy doesn't seem to be jumping up high enough. I mean are you MEANT to stay down low, or not? I'm not quite sure. But if he was yup higher he cause easily improve his measurements?

[skateandtennis]

@AthleticsGirl98 it's not really height that you want to achieve, it's the forward momentum. If you focus all of your force vertically, you are not going to go far horizontally. But this is with triple jump, in long long it's a different story. In long jump you want to explode off of that one jump and "fly" yourself into the pit. lol, but i can't really answer your question because idk how "low" are you talking about, and if they are jumping in the world championship finals.. they're pro. lol :P

[AthleticsGirl98]

@skateandtennis I just mean if he went up just a fraction higher I think he would get further in each of his phases :)

This is just what I think!

[skateandtennis]

@AthleticsGirl98 Haha, you are right. But i dont think he can.. just look at him! haha, I can say that my last phase is a lot better than him... but I cant compare results with him... my pr is only 41'3" and his is like in the high 50s.... lol. he needs to work on flexibility. :p

[AthleticsGirl98]

@skateandtennis I think you'd improve a lot if you just keep practising! Yeah he's not getting his legs up as high as the others. Wow that's really good. I'm a 13 year old girl (Soon 14) and can only do 8.72m from the 7m board -_-

I've done Little A's for 3 years now but I've NEVER taken TJ seriously until now. So hopefully I can improve soon. I think it's my 2nd phase I really need to work on :)

[skateandtennis]

@AthleticsGirl98 haha, thanks! :) And i actually kinda give up on track and field... i took up another sports that i was previously pursuing, tennis. :P lol, that's pretty good for the first time! :D keep on working at it! it'll get better. and yes, i had the most trouble with the second phase, but i got it down pretty well at the end. :P And i jumped my pr last year.. and i was 15 last year so, it was pretty good. :) I have actually never lost in TJ. :) hehe

[ttran9313]

Idowu's last phase.... cost him the GOLD!!!

[alexkaster420]

Does anyone know what kind of spikes those are that nelson evora is wearing? i dont think i have seen those before.. and dont just say adidas

[msbunnypaws]

So I guess this is not an event white people excel at, eh?

[bravebirdman]

@msbunnypaws The world record holder, Jonathon Edwards, is white...just saying...

[skateandtennis]

@bravebirdman lol, white ppl only hold records in field events.. triple, pole, shot, disc, jav.. haha

[msbunnypaws]

What a strange event.

[kunifighter2]

it bothers me so much that idowu doesn't extend he would easily get over 18m

[steelerfan786]

idowu needs to keep his hips under himself and drive more "out" and not "up" on his last phase so he stops over rotating in his landings. he should be challenging the world record. he has the talent. i hope he can do work in 2012

[ashleeperez1]

Idwu would break Edwards record and national record if he works on his 3rd phase....his 1st jump he missed the entire board and he would of been well over 18m if he was on the board

[AARONjErKS]

Nelson has always been my favorite jumper. Congrats to Taylor though! Look for Idowu to make a comeback in 2012, and don't leave out Alexis Copello. He has a lot of talent.

[kvianca90]

i'm a korean girl, and this was the most favorite game in Daegu, IAAF for me. I find Idowu and Taylor so hot!^^ I'm expecting their battle in London next year very much. Hope good luck for them!

[kunifighter2]

wth is idowu doing with his arms on his jumps?

[TheRatchetgladiator]

@kunifighter2 i think single arm technqiue. because of that and his terrible landing he wasnt able to clear 18m. at the olympics he will be probably better i think

[TheChuy691]

Recontraputisisismamadre, brincan increíble!!!!

[KGJumps]

Idowu's jump would've been a WR better believe it

[bddb9]

@KGJumps yup. i think he's gonna get it at the olympics.. but taylor is comin damn close as well. its gonna be an epic competition i think

[susspuss]

Taylor's last phase is like 0,5...1m better than Idowu's... that's a lot to think about...

[emmtee10]

geeze olsson needs to stop leaning back that was easily a 17.50+ jump he made he looses so dang much and idowu omg i can't even get started with him. wtf is his coach teaching him work on his fricken landing. if he just extended out and WAITED for the ground to come to him instead of just trying to stick it his jumps would be 17.80+ easily

[RodneyRude7]

@emmtee10 round 5 would have been 18.20

[khaddisagnia]

@emmtee10 Ohmyy goood!! You have so true!

[iiCulmZ]

definatly agree his balance on his last fast slows the momentum of the jump down therefore not been able to stretch further is what he lacks and is exactly what jonathan edwards was able to do is keep the momentum through the fases

[yoyohihiyohi]

That jump right after taylor hit 17.96, Idowu would have destroyed it but he took off from his second phase leaning forward. He kinda jammed his feet into the sand cause he would have went head first. Unlucky

[tdtmd03]

IF and IF Iodwu works on his jump phase and landing, Edward's WR could have been broken. That fifth jump was 2/3 awesome!

[LiveWonderfulTV]

I agree, Idowu lost a lot of balance on his final phase, but shows incredible core strength to not have over rotated. even at 32-33 yrs old he still shows he can challenge the 18m barrier. I wish he could develop the common landing style.

[JoeySkate24]

how the fuck i ended up watching this ..,

[JOHNNYD727TJ]

Christian Taylor, world record potential?

[whiteandarabs]

Phillips Idowu is not English, he is Nigerian. why is he representing Britain

[iiamins]

@whiteandarabs he is nigerian-english, not nigerian. he was born in britain, therefore a british citizen. only his parents are nigerian.

[RodneyRude7]

Idowu's fifth round approach, hop & step were magnificent......but as long as he continues to ignore that last phase landing he will never reach his full potential. Such a shame for such a great athlete. I just dont understand why he hasnt addressed it?????

[shotgunboy2007]

@RodneyRude7 I don't think it's possible for me to agree with you anymore than I do. His first two phases were PHENOMINAL, and he had a great takeoff for his final, and then he ruins everything with that terrible landing. He's a professional athlete, why haven't his coaches fixed his landing? That 17.77 could easily have gotten him gold if he'd landed like the others do...

[triplestep1829]

@RodneyRude7 you ever jumped 17.81?

[RodneyRude7]

@triplestep1829 No dickhead...have you?

[showtime11333]

@RodneyRude7 I agree sooo much!!

Its kind of like the american long jumper Dwight Phillips. So much speed and so athletic, but just botches the landing lol

[Chukojc94]

@RodneyRude7 I simply do the same because of my leg length! I haven't enough time to leg shoot! Maybe that is his case, I dunno

[TheBlamus]

@RodneyRude7 he's a pro and a for long time in this business. i think he and his coach know what they do...

[alexkaster420]

@TheBlamus being a pro doesnt mean your technique cant get better. its pretty evident when every other pro lands the other way that hes doing something wrong. Being pro doesnt mean you cant get better...

[RawAthlete]

@RodneyRude7 Agreed, he's had that same landing for years, perhaps it hasn't cost him anything until now. Taylor does not look nearly as powerful, but his flexibility won him the gold.

[enochgarcia5]

@RodneyRude7 i totally agree with you men, this guy, if he fixes that third phase will probably come closest to breaking jonathan edwards record. or christian taylor, but dang, he really needs to fix that third phase.

[ryan033196]

@RodneyRude7 Your right he just needs to get full extension of his legs and scoop his butt over his heels on the last phase

[Skates2much]

I'll put it to you like this... Idowu being off balance is what messed up that jump, but had he had a better landing, he probably would have gotten farther... or at least not flew off on his face. That sudden stop in momentum (due to his landing) is what sent him flying like that. Because believe me, he had the speed to go 18m+

[jonsgears]

Taylor is one of the only ones that uses his arms to their full potential. It gets him where he wants to go with the aggressive momentum forward.

[47mosdef]

Idowu has fantastic first and second phases, he even starts his last phase 80cm or less from the sand, the lack of balance is noticeable in the final phase to landing, with that last jump and a better landing he could cleared 18m and gold medal.

[dadubs35]

@47mosdef he's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO explosive, if he full extended his landings he would destroy competetive fields with ease

[hugojunior93]

what an amazing olympics we'll have next year in London

christian taylor, olsson, idowu, nelson evora, teddy tamgho, a. copello, will claye, marian oprea, girat, etc

it will be an epic battle

[iTripleJump2012]

ALL I GOT TI SAY IS...GATORS BABY!!! watch out for me as a freshman! I can't wait to take over!

[Skates2much]

@iTripleJump2012 you're at florida now? congrats homie. you get a chance to train with some truly amazing athletes. hope you have a great college career.

[iTripleJump2012]

@Skates2much yessir you'll be hearing my name bruh bruh

[iTripleJump2012]

@Skates2much thanks man watch out for me man I'm ready!

[danolga]

At 09:40 it's impossible for idowu to land,he have the shoulders to forward.

[Skates2much]

Look at how easy it was for Idowu to make a SB type jump. He's been lazy... but Claye and Taylor are here to insure that he never stays lazy again.. if he wants to win a championship that is..

[21tjallen]

USA is back, but i do see that Phillips over rotated that would have been big but the name of the game is execution,,and Taylor did, claye is one of the most god fearing athletes i know i see big things in the future for usa triple jump

[Sheeeeeenful]

merci pour la video

[spencergray2010]

If Idowu wouldn't have got so off balance on his jump phase that 17.77 would have been quite a bit farther.

[TheRatchetgladiator]

@spencergray2010

yeah and if he had just extended his legs he would have cleared 18m. his landing technique sucks
