Men’s long jump

Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou renews his rivalry with European indoor champion Bozhidar Saraboyoukov in what could be one of the highlights of the meet.

Saraboyoukov captured European indoor gold in Apeldoorn with 8.13m, edging Italy’s Mattia Furlani by a single centimetre, and has been in superb form this winter—producing a world-leading 8.39m in Metz and consistent series of 8.26m and 8.21m in Plovdiv and Ostrava.

Tentoglou opened 2026 with 8.25m in Athens and jumped 8.23m in Ostrava. The Greek star owns the Belgrade meeting record (8.25m, 2022) and will be eager to improve on last year’s fourth place. His résumé remains unmatched: world outdoor gold in Budapest (8.52m), a third straight European title in Rome with a PB 8.65m, and back-to-back Olympic crowns.

Sweden’s Thobias Montler, a multiple global silver medallist, adds depth after an 8.01m season’s best, while Japan’s versatile Shunsuke Izumiya also enters the field.
