McLeod is preparing to make his third jump in category definition. What happened was that when he finished his fast run, he makes some sort of misstep and ends up flying in a rather strange way.

In fact, on social media they compared this flight to ‘Superman’ because of the way it landed on the sand. Oops, oops! exclaimed the commentators on the broadcast, while in the background the fans in the stands were heard murmuring what they were seeing.

Logically, the jump was null, even though the Jamaican was able to hold the score of 8. Another detail is that as a result of this false fall he He was left with discomfort in his ankle and on the next jump he only managed a 6.57.

Born in April 1998, the 25-year-old Olympian competes in the long jump and triple jump. Because of what happened to him at the World Cup in Budapest with his failed jump, many people recognized him.

In any case, his career was consolidated for a while. His first Olympic date will be at Tokyo 2020, where he will participate in these previously mentioned categories.
