Congratulations Tobi. Accept my best wishes in your career!
Ese Brume won Silver with a jump of 7.02M, and not bronze. Complete Sports please make necessary corrections. Thanks.
It’s a shame that the complete sports journalist could make such a blunder, Bruce won Silver with a jump of 7.02m. Some of us watched it live.
Brume I meant
Thanks for the report. But a slight error in the fact the Ese Brume won a silver not a bronze medal
