The boy is big.
Yonatan Kapitolnik set the criteria for the European Championships in Munich today (Monday) when he jumped to a height of 2.30 meters, in the Maccabi Israel championship competition named after the Idelson brothers held in Hadar Yosef.
Capitolnik, just 19, compared Nicki Pali's record at age 23U.
This is also the best result this year in the world and Capitolink holds it along with five other jumpers, when it should be remembered that the season has just begun.
In recent years, Capitolnik has been marked as the next thing in Israeli athletics, probably after last year he won the World Youth Championship up to the age of 20, when he added to his resume at a young age also the European Youth Championship up to the age of 20.
This year, unusually, due to postponements of competitions, both the European Championships and the World Athletics Championships will be held, the last of which will be held in the United States.
