Jaak Uudmäe
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox sportsperson Jaak Uudmäe (born 3 September 1954) is an Estonian former triple jumper and long jumper who competed for the Soviet Union. He was the gold medalist at the 1980 Summer Olympics. He set a personal best of Template:T&Fcalc in his Olympic victory – a mark which remains the Estonian record.[1]
In 1979 and 1980, Uudmäe was acknowledged as Estonian Athlete of the Year. In 1980, Uudmäe's coach, Jaan Jürgenson, was nominated as the USSR Coach of the Year , and Jaak himself as the USSR Master Sportsman of the Year. He was the runner-up at the 1979 Soviet Spartakiad, behind Gennadiy Valyukevich.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
His two sons, Jaanus Uudmäe and Jaak Joonas Uudmäe, are also both long and triple jumpers.[2][3]
1980 Olympics
His victory at the 1980 Summer Olympics was adjudicated by an all-Soviet panel.[4] Some observers later claimed that the bronze medalist João Carlos de Oliveira and fifth-placer Ian Campbell both produced multiple jumps longer than Uudmäe's, though the Soviet judges ruled all these as fouls, to protestations from the athletes and questioning by several observers. Uudmäe's longest jump was also ruled as a foul.[5][6][7][8] In 2015, Athletics Australia made a request to the International Association of Athletics Federations to investigate the matter and review the outcome.[9]
