Miltiadis Tentoglou

Greek Miltiadis Tentoglou threatened to quit the long jump event shortly after winning the world indoor title on Saturday if the sport implements a rule change intended to eliminate foul jumps.

Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece edged Italian teenager Mattia Furlani to win long jump gold at the world indoor athletics championships on Saturday, adding another world title to his glittering resume.

Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece won long jump gold at the World Championships on Thursday as his final leap of 8.52 metres edged him ahead of long-time leader Wayne Pinnock of Jamaica.

Last year's silver medallist Tentoglou got the event off to a flier as he produced a huge season's best 8.50 with his opening jump, only for Pinnock to match it in the second round.
