22-year-old JuVaughn Harrison (USA) achieved something special at the Tokyo Olympics 2021 on Saturday.
At the Tokyo Olympics JuVaughn Harrison advanced to the long jump Olympic final with 12 best men in the qualifiers. Harrison's result in the qualification was 813.
On Friday, Harrison cleared high jump qualification with a result of 228 and he will compete in the final on Sunday.
