Cuba&rsquo;s Jorge A. Hodel&iacute;n soared 8.46m to break the world U20 long jump record* at the Envol Troph&eacute;e, a World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger meeting, in Pierre-B&eacute;nite, France, on Saturday (13).
The 19-year-old, who finished fourth in the world indoor final in March, surpassed his previous PB of 8.34m that he achieved last year to improve the world U20 record of 8.38m set by Italy&rsquo;s Mattia Furlani in Rome in 2024.
Hodel&iacute;n&rsquo;s record-breaking leap came in the second round of a series that included two other jumps beyond eight metres. He opened with 8.06m (1.6m/s) and then jumped 8.46m (1.9m/s) from his second attempt before a wind-assisted 8.07m (2.3m/s) in the third round. He fouled his next attempt and then retired from the competition.
The mark places Hodel&iacute;n joint third on this year&rsquo;s world top list.
Three athletes cleared 5.82m in the men&rsquo;s pole vault, Thibaut Collet clinching the win on countback. Anthony Ammirati was second and 18-year-old Zackaria Dia was third, adding 12 centimetres to his PB to improve Ammirati&rsquo;s French U20 record and move to second on the world U20 all-time list between world U20 record-holder Mondo Duplantis and Ammirati.
Germany&rsquo;s Christina Honsel cleared 1.94m to win the high jump, while Rogilia Bissemo won the women&rsquo;s long jump by leaping 6.80m (1.5m/s).

Hodelín soars 8.46m to break world U20 long jump record

Olympic finalist Samuel Ogazi stormed to fourth on the world 400m all-time list on the third day of the NCAA Championships, clocking 43.38 to retain his title in Eugene on Friday (12).
With that world-leading performance, the 20-year-old Alabama sprinter improved his own Nigerian record and broke the US collegiate record of 43.61 set by 2022 world champion Michael Norman in 2018.
Only world record-holder Wayde van Niekerk, Michael Johnson and Butch Reynolds now sit above Ogazi on the world all-time list.
Jonathan Simms also dipped under 44 seconds in Eugene, breaking the barrier for the first time in his career, as he finished runner-up in 43.92. Simms later ran a blistering final leg to take Georgia to the 4x400m title in 2:57.93.
Another world-leading, national and US collegiate record was set in the men&rsquo;s 200m as Cayman Islands&rsquo; Jaiden Reid ran under 20 seconds for the first time with 19.63 (1.5m/s) to take the title for LSU. Auburn&rsquo;s Israel Okon was second in 19.99.
Reid&rsquo;s run puts him joint 12th on the world all-time list and improves the long-standing US collegiate record of 19.69 set by Walter Dix in 2007.
Reid had earlier clocked a wind-aided 9.82 (2.2m/s) to finish second in a 100m final won by Nigeria&rsquo;s Kanyinsola Ajayi who ran 9.72 to complete an NCAA title double for Auburn after his indoor 60m win in March.
After breaking the world 110m hurdles record with 12.75 in the heats, Auburn&rsquo;s Ja&rsquo;Kobe Tharp returned to retain his title in 12.90 (-0.2m/s) &ndash; the joint 11th fastest performance in history.
Kendrick Smallwood also went sub-13 seconds, clocking a PB of 12.95 for second place.
<h2>Samuel wins distance double</h2>
Eritrea&rsquo;s Habtom Samuel achieved a distance double for New Mexico, following his 10,000m win in 27:51.31 on Wednesday with 5000m victory in 13:38.93 two days later.
The 22-year-old, who claimed world U20 3000m bronze in 2021 and 5000m bronze in 2022, went one better than his runner-up finishes in both the 5000m and 10,000m at last year&rsquo;s NCAA Championships and adds these titles to his NCAA indoor 5000m title win from March.
Great Britain&rsquo;s Kimani Jack cleared 2.28m to win the high jump for Georgia, while Jamaica&rsquo;s Ralford Mullings threw 65.81m to retain his discus title for Oklahoma.
Arkansas won the overall men&rsquo;s team title.

Ogazi, Reid and Tharp storm to NCAA titles as more records fall in Eugene

World finalist Ja&rsquo;Kobe Tharp produced a stunning 12.75 run to break the world 110m hurdles record* at the NCAA Championships in Eugene on Wednesday (10).
What made the feat all the more surprising was the fact it came in the heats. The Auburn student powered out of the blocks and executed a flawless run, pulling further ahead of the field after each barrier before charging through the line in 12.75 (1.0m/s), taking 0.05 off the world record set by Aries Merritt in 2012.
Tharp, still just 20 years of age, won the world U20 title in 2024 and then won the NCAA indoor and outdoor titles one year later. He also won at the US Championships last year with a PB of 13.01 before going on to finish sixth in the World Championships final.
He is undefeated in individual races this year, including heats, and in March he retained his NCAA indoor title with a world-leading 7.32, elevating him to third on the world all-time list. He continued that momentum outdoors with a string of victories on the US collegiate circuit.
The 110m hurdles final at the NCAA Championships takes place on Friday (12).
The second day of the championships on Thursday (11) saw British Virgin Islands' Adaejah Hodge storm to fifth on the world all-time list for the 100m, clocking 10.63 (1.9m/s) in the first round. The world U20 200m champion and 100m silver medallist, running for Georgia, improved on her previous national record of 10.77 set in April. Shawnti Jackson ran a PB of 10.88 in the same heat. The final will be held on Saturday (13).
Hodge returned to the track to lead performances in the 200m heats, clocking 21.96 (1.7m/s).
Also on Thursday, Stanford's Alyssa Jones soared 7.06m (0.2m/s) to win the long jump, while Washington's Amanda Moll cleared an outdoor world lead and US collegiate record of 4.84m to win the pole vault.
