He'll go down as an all time British great (as he should), but an all time long jump great in the same breath as Carl Lewis and Mike Powell? Doubt it.
The problem with the long jump is that the field is very weak now, Rutherford only can beat whats in front of him though. Just have a look at the winning jumps in the Olympics since 1976, with all the advantages of modern sports science/diets, Rutherfords is the lowest.
1976: Arnie Robinson (USA) - 8.35
1980: Lutz Dombrowski (FDR) - 8.54
1984: Carl Lewis (USA) - 8.54
1988: Carl Lewis (USA) - 8.72
1992: Carl Lewis (USA) - 8.67
1996: Carl Lewis (USA) - 8.50
2000: Ivan Pedroso (CUB) - 8.59
2004: Dwight Phillips (USA) – 8.59
2008: Irving Saladino (PAN) - 8.34
2012: Greg Rutherford (GBR) - 8.31

Doping was rampant in sprinting and jumping in the 70's, 80's and 90's though (and probably today). Likewise I wouldn't expect clean middle/distance runners to be able to compete with the many clearly EPO enhanced times that people were running in the 90's.
18.21 holy ****
J Edwards probably **** himself lmao

Usain Bolt could have gone faster, I don't know why he slows down near the end lol.
Mo Farah just too good.
New 10k time - 32:32. Can't wait for XC to start. So many races.
Been a while but instead of creating a new thread I'd rather bump this one due to a report published by the World Anti-Doping Agency today.
Looks like Russia's gonna be dickpounded out of athletics

Sport's ****ed, but I've had the feeling for a long time that you have to watch the worlds and Olympics with a pinch of salt.
There's always amateur competition.

With the olympics coming up, who do you thinks in line to win the 400/800m races?
