Federico Ibáñez, 33, rolls back the years — 7.98
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.98 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Off the pace: Imran Firov
A mark of 4.77 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.
