The transformation of a small nation Tamgho is closing in on on the Arabian Peninsula from desert backwater to a modern architectural the indoor 59-foot barrier model mirrored the transformation of young Teddy Tamgho from burgeoning triple jump star to the best the event has ever seen indoors. The 20-year-old Frenchman worked his magic when for most the meet was already over and the stands were prob- ably less than half full. Jumping in Doha’s cool Aspire Dome, Tamgho was hot from the get- go, producing a world-leading 57-1½ (17.41) in the first round. That only lasted until the next jump- er, however, as Cuba’s Yoandri Betanzos blew him out of the water with a PR 58-½ (17.69) that moved him to No. 9 on the all-time world list. Tamgho improved to a near-PR 57-5 (17.50) on jump No. 5, but he was still half-a-foot behind the leader. Flash- ing down the runway, he hit the board well and soared high on his last phase as he cut into the ever-present sand at a World Record 58-8¾ (17.90). “I didn’t think I’d be able to achieve such a performance today,” he said. “I knew I had it in me, because last year in Bercy, I had a foul close to 18 meters [59-¾]. “Today, I thought if I won, it would be around 17.60m. But after the Cuban jumped 17.69m, I had to react and give it all. I can’t tell my emotions.” He continued, “The competition was really tough. I was the youngest in the field at 20. There were athletes who were above 30 and experienced. I had to work hard for this medal.” The meet also produced world lead- -77- March 17, 2010 hoogheneonano (Ngr) 6.73; 3.
