Edwards upstages Christie
VILLENEUVE
D'ASCO, France, June 25: Jonathan Edwards upstaged British teammate Linford
Christie Sunday by recording the best-ever triple jump un der any conditions while Christie gained his third sprint victory of the meet, reports AP.
Germany captured the men's team competition while Russia took the women's divr sion.
Edwards, a bronze medalist at the 1993 World Championships. went 18.43 metres (60 feet 5 3/4 inches) with a wind just above the legal limit of 2.0 metres per second at 2.4 mps.
It was the best ever triple jump under any conditions, surpassing Willie Banks' 18.20 metres (59-8 1/2) with a wind of 5.2 mps in 1988.
"It's really hard to put into words that kind of performance," Edwards said. "But I'm disappointed. Without the wind I thought I could have brpken the world record."
Banks holds the legal world record of 17 97 metres (59-11 1/21.
The 29-year-old Edwards later came back to jump a le-KI 17.72 metres (58-1 3/4) to tter his own British record He also jumped 18.39 (60-41 with a wind of 3.7 mps ano stopped after four attempts of his allowed six.
, Christie won the 200 in 20.11, just outside his personal best of 20.09 done at the 1988 Olympic Games.
"I'm very surprised to have won and very surprised with the time," Christie said. "That s what I like about this kind of weekend — you're boosted up by the others' per formances.''
Christie now has won six 100s and three 200s in European Cup competition
He sent word to the team's hotel late Friday night that he
would run and arrived by train Saturday morning. He had been a questionable starter throughout the week after the death of his mother whose funeral was Thursday.
Saturday, competing with a sore throat, won the 100 in 10.05 seconds, assisted by a legal wind of 2.0 meters per seconds. The time is the second-best 100 time of the year and reassures Christie who had been off-form in the early season, losing four of his first five races.
He also anchored the 4 by 100 relay to a time of 38.73
the third best time of the year.
Germany's Heike Drech-sler, world and Olympic champion in the long jump, took her event with a wind-aided 7.04 meters for the top women's performance of the day.
Germany won the men s standings with 117 points with Britain at 107. With the women, Russia had 117 points to Germany's 100.
Last year, Germany gained a double victory in the team standings, its first major success after unification.
