Rio Olympics: Airborne

Ashton Eaton (USA) took over the lead of the Men's Decathlon after this perfectly executed Long Jump.  Eaton is hoping to at least match his wife's Bronze Medal finish in the women's version of the Decathlon, the Women's Heptathlon. His wife is Canadian Brianne Theisen-Eaton.

Rio Olympics: Into the Sand Pit

Jarrion Lawson (USA) was having a brilliant Long Jump competition, moving into the lead with this jump.  Sadly, his outstretched left arm and his lean to that direction on this jump was the hint on what was to come.  On his final jump his hand hit the sand long before any other part of his body, but that was what determined the length of his flight, and what left him off of the podium.

Rio Olympics: In Flight

With perfect form Brianne Theisen-Eaton (Canada) flew towards the sand pit in the long jump.  Theisen-Eaton was one of 27 women competing for medals in the Women's Heptathalon.  The Canadian went on to win the Bronze Medal in the two day event.  Chapeau!
