Phenomenal in resetting the men's long jump record during last month's Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Cambodia, Janry Ubas is within half-a-foot of reaching a personal milestone of seeing action in the 2024 Paris Olympics. 'I always make an effort to outdo my previous jump. That mindset helps me become better,'' said Ubas, who holds the SEA Games standard of 8.08 meters in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. The 29-year-old from Misamis Oriental needs to leap to at least 8.27 meters, the Olympic qualification standard in his pet event, for a sure slot in the Games to be held at the French capital.
