Cuban long jumper becomes youngest male field event indoor winnerGETTY IMAGES Juan Miguel Echevarria of Cuba won the men's long jump final. In another first, every runner in a world championship race was disqualified, in a 400-metre heat. There were also gold medals for Murielle Ahoure in an Ivory Coast one-two in the 60 metres, and Hungary's Anita Marton in the shot put. Just four centimetres separated the top three: Manyonga made 8.44 and defending champion Marquis Dendy of the United States 8.42. In the pentathlon, Johnson-Thompson topped the standings going into the final event and led most of the 800-metre race before pulling away in the final straight to comfortably take gold.
