Track and field:

Hugues Fabrice Zango broke the world indoor triple jump record with an effort of 18.07 meters on his sixth and final attempt. He added 15 centimeters to the previous record set by Teddy Tamgho

10 years ago and became the first athlete from Burkina Faso to set a world record. He did so at a jumps-only meeting in France. After a fifth jump of 17.70 meters, which was seven centimeters short of his personal best, Zango became the first to jump more than

18 meters indoors. Tamgho coaches him. The world record outdoors is 18.29 meters.
