Andreas Trajkovski ninth in long jump at Mediterranean Games in Taranto
Trajkovski recorded 7.63 m and missed the top-eight cut despite a season best of 7.82 m.
Andreas Trajkovski finished ninth in the long jump final at the 2026 Mediterranean Games in Taranto, recording a measured leap of 7.63 metres.
Trajkovski competed among the region's top jumpers but was unable to reproduce his season best of 7.82 m. After three attempts he did not place in the top eight and therefore had no opportunity to take the additional three jumps awarded to the leading competitors.
