Saraboyukov is second at World Athletics Ultimate Championship

22-year-old Bulgarian athlete Bozhidar Saraboyukov narrowly missed the title at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship, finishing just one centimeter behind winner Miltiádis Tentóglou in the long jump competition held on September 12 in Budapest, Hungary. Bulgaria's sole representative recorded a jump of 8.34 meters but finished second, as the Greek jumper claimed the trophy with a jump of 8.35 meters. With this result, the Bulgarian earned $75,000 in prize money and performed his trademark backflip in front of a full stadium and dozens of Bulgarian fans in the stands, the Bulgarian Athletics Federation reported on its website.
