9th May 2000
The Ladies jump record moves again. Over the weekend 6-7 May at Okahumpka, Florida Britta Llewellyn
equalled Toni's record of 51.6m. In the same round Toni Neville pushed it further setting the distance
at 51.7m. This I think will measure at 170 feet. The next day Toni moved even further jumping 51.8m.
This has given the IWSF and EAME a lot of work to do this week. This gives Britta a new pending European
record and Toni has now narrowed the gap to Jarrett's record to 18.5m. This raises the question, who
will win all that money for a new record at the US Open??
8th May 2000
Toni Nevilles jump of 51.6m has now been confirmed as a new Ladies world jump record.
3rd May 2000

The McCormicks lake she jumped 51.6m, thats 20 cm longer than the current world record of Emma Sheers.
What could they do on a 1.80m ramp at 57 kph?? They are only about 18 m away from Jarets world record.
Russell Morris is looking for a set of 92” Jump skis. If you have any for sale let us know.
