One Million dollars gets ever closer
27.08.2005
Brussels, Belgium – Tatyana Lebedeva, her Achilles injury problems seemingly now just part of this season’s folklore, took a confident fifth win in the TDK Golden League 2005 in the women’s Triple Jump.
Her first round 14.80m would have been good enough for victory, but in round five she emphasised her dominance with a leap of 14.94m. World champion Trecia Smith of Jamaica was second (14.76) and Cuba’s Helsinki silver medallist, Yargelis Savigne (14.48) was third.
So with just the meeting in Berlin to go, Sunday week (4 September), to complete the task of six wins from six meetings, the Russian looks a certain bet to match Maria Mutola’s 2003 feat of winning the TDK Golden League Jackpot outright, collecting athletics biggest single payout of One Million Dollars!
