Magic Moments: Nedasekau breaks long-standing championship record in Grosseto
- 6 years ago
Back in 1977, the top films of the year were the first Star Wars movie and Saturday Night Fever while the likes of The Eagles and Boney M had massive international music hits, and high jumper Vladimir Yashchenko – wearing the red vest of the now defunct Soviet Union – went over 2.30m for a championship record at what is now the European Athletics U20 Championships.
The cultural reference points are mentioned to give a sense of how venerable Yaschenko’s mark was and what an achievement it was for Maksim Nedasekau to break it in a competition that was one of the highlights of the Grosseto 2017 European Athletics U20 Championships in July.
