Point is they had a similar season- big indoor with title, big Olympics with title(s), sparse DL participation, nothing after the Olympics. So I don't agree that one doesn't belong to the list because there's more than the Olympics (apparently the only other big Championships of the year that they could attend doesn't matter) if the other is in. Yes but to be fair an outdoor WL is seen as more significant as an indoor WL (especially since 60m is not an Olympic distance). I don't mean to disrespect Jacobs, but I think not having the outdoor WL is probably why he was not included. Still, Jacobs had a great season and you should be very proud of him! Also unfortunately for Tentoglou, there is no long jump team event to win "1 more Olympic gold" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
