Italian Howe celebrates, wins long jump silver

August 30, 2007

The European champion Andrew Howe leaps past the field and moves into first place with his final jump of 8.47 meters. Celebrating wildly, Howe displaced front-runner Irving Saladino of Panama for the lead and believed he had done enough to win the title. However, Saladino had one more try and nailed 8.57 meters for the gold. Howe settled for the silver medal and the Italian national record. (WCSN, WCSN.com) Copyright (c) 2007 WCSN.com.
