Tentoglou vs. McLeod Prediction on August 6, 2024

Match info

On Tuesday, August 6, an athletics discipline that’s most famous for the achievements and dominance of Carl Lewis back in the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, the men’s long jump, is ready for its 2024 Paris Olympic Games final at the Stade de France at 8:20 p.m. local time. Currently, one man is the absolute ruler. Although he’s only 25, he already holds an Olympic title. After winning in Tokyo in 2021, Miltiadis Tentoglou hasn’t lost since. Most experts anticipate that he’ll keep his title in Paris. He’ll have some serious contenders at these Summer Games, who we believe can’t surpass the Greek.

Meeting statistics

The only person to win the long jump twice in the Olympics is Carl Lewis, a nine-time Olympian who won four titles in the discipline between 1984 and 1996. The Olympic, world, indoor, and European champion in both indoor and outdoor events, Tentoglou, hopes to alter that in Paris. He has won every one of the 11 contests he has entered in 2024, keeping both his world indoor and European crowns. He now hopes to repeat that incredible form on the grandest platform in Paris after improving his personal best to 8.65m, the world’s furthest leap since 2019. Tentoglou recorded two of those 8.65-meter jumps during the European Athletics Championships in Rome, during the last two rounds of competition. His five legitimate attempts totaled more than 8.40 meters, which is the distance that two other athletes have covered this year. According to the odds of bookies that accept AdvCash, two competitors have a small chance of jeopardizing the Greek…

At the European Champions in Rome, 19-year-old Mattia Furlani of Italy thrilled the home audience by setting a world U20 record with a vault of 8.38 meters to win silver. Just like Tentoglou and a few other elite long jump competitors competing in Paris, Furlani already has significant medal experience, having won the world indoor silver behind his Greek opponent in Glasgow while jumping the exact same mark as the winner.

Carey McLeod of Jamaica, who was denied a world medal on countback the previous year when two of his countrymen, Wayne Pinnock and Tajay Gayle, the 2019 world champion, took podium places, did have his chance to medal in Glasgow, taking home a bronze. After his triumph in the 2024 Wanda Diamond League meeting in Doha, McLeod also knows that he’s the only athlete to have defeated Tentoglou this year as he travels to Paris. Even though McLeod’s 8.52m jump—the longest of his career in all circumstances—was aided by an unlawful 5.2m/s tailwind, it will undoubtedly give him more confidence going into his second Olympics in Paris.

Match analytics

Due to the shortness of odds on Tentoglou, it won’t pay you off much to bet on him, but bookies opted out of any other markets for the long jump, such as an athlete vs. athlete and similar.
