Long jump world champion and Olympic winner Irving Saladino of Panama confirmed for Panama America that he will open the season at Area Permit meeting in Rio de Janeiro on May 17.

He did not compete indoors and had a succesfull preparation for the summer under the guidance of his Brazilian coach Nelio Moura. „My goal for 2009 is to defend my world title,” he said. His first European meet should be the FBK Games in Hengelo on June 1 where he last year achieved his best of 873 cm.

„I do not feel pressure to beat the record of Mike Powell. I must concentrate on improving my technique and the result will come,” said Saladino.
