Alfred Hermes reports on a masters meet Sunday in Ingelheim, Germany, which included an M80 world record 8.95 meters (29-4 1/2) in the triple jump by Lothar Fischer. That equals the listed age-group WR by Japan’s Mazumi Morita at 1993 worlds in Miyazaki. See results here. Germany’s track site notes that Lothar also set an M65 WR in the long jump that was tied by an Italian seven years later. But Lothar holds the M75 TJ record outright at 10.10 (33-1 1/2).

Here's Lothar's series at a Southwestern German Masters Championships.

    3 jumps to equal the WR in the LJ!

    By a man just about 3 times the age Mike Powell was when he set the record. 🙂

    Bravo!
