Taylor Topples Pichardo in Lausanne

Published by the IAAF on July 9, 2015

Two months after their historic performances in Doha, Christian Taylor and Pedro Pablo Pichardo provided a packed crowd at Lausanne’s Athletissima meeting with another stupendous night of IAAF Diamond League triple jumping on Thursday (9).

The US jumper reversed fortunes against his Cuban rival in winning with 18.06m – a meeting record and equal to the IAAF Diamond League record Pichardo set in Qatar. On that occasion, Taylor almost eclipsed the Cuban with his own final effort, only to fall two centimetres short.
