Winner of the height competition with 2.33 m on Sunday in Eugene (Oregon), the young JuVaughn Harrison (22) will also try to qualify for the Olympic Games (July 23-August 8) at length in a few hours! Jumping prodigy JuVaughn Harrison (22) won the US Olympic Trials height competition on Sunday in Eugene, Ore., Clearing 2.33m by nearly 40 degrees in the shade. The LSU student was ahead of the number of tries Darryl Sullivan (2.33 m), as well as Shelby McEwen (2.30 m) who will therefore accompany him to Tokyo at the Olympic Games (23 July-8 August). The winner lived a perfect competition for a long time (2.21 m; 2.24 m; 2.27 m; 2.30 m; 2.33 m passed on the first try) before failing twice at 2.36 m ( his personal best) and then stop there. Harrison can aim for the double Olympic ticket Car Harrison, recent double NCAA champion at both the height and length, has a very busy Sunday as the length final awaited him from 8:30 p.m. (5:30 a.m. French time), new schedule announced after the interruption of the tests due to the heat wave. If he ends up in the top 3 again, a very rare double Olympic ticket will make him one of the most scrutinized athletes in Japan. To walk in the footsteps of Ellery Clark, the American sacred in 1896 in Athens in height and length.
