Man is his head and ego going to get SO much bigger than it already is
This is good news...did not think he will make it. That last jump also looked massive - sad it was not legal...

Total embarrassment narrowly averted. Now we just need another 3 to match Zim.

What is poor is the fact that even the gold medal distance doesn't even come close to the world record which is 8.95m by American Mike Powell.
8.35m ... pfft.

You seem to forget that Powell broke a record that stood 23 years and his own now stands for 17. Just to put a bit more perspective on it...
