RunBlogRun opines: Last March I witnessed the second finest LJ series in indoor athletic history. In Belgrade, at the European Championships, to the delight of her fans, threw 7.03 meters, 7.16 meters, and then, 7.24 meters, the best long jump indoors in 18 years and second best LJ indoors ever! Watch the LJ from Birmingham!
