Long jump champion Miltiadis Tentoglou threatened to quit the event after winning the world indoor title, expressing opposition to a proposed rule change by World Athletics aimed at eliminating foul jumps to make the event more appealing. Tentoglou, who won gold on a tiebreak in Glasgow, believes the proposed change would make the long jump the easiest event and stated he would switch to triple jump if it's implemented. World Athletics president Sebastian Coe defended the need for changes to keep the sport relevant, citing evolving viewer and sponsor interests.
