	Dwight Phillips
		Phillips ended the suspense early on at the 2005 World Outdoor Championships in the men’s long jump final when he landed in the sand at 8.60m/28-2.75 on his first attempt to successfully defend his world title won in Paris in 2003.
		Phillips, who ended the 2005 campaign in ownership of the top four jumps in the world that season, ended the year ranked #1 in the world by Track and Field News for the third consecutive year, joining an exclusive club that includes only Ivan Pedroso, Carl Lewis, Arnie Robinson, Ralph Boston and George Brown.
		Phillips was the next man on the runway, and he responded with a leap of 8.32m/27-3.75, posting the mark that ultimately would win the competition and performing a captivating celebratory dance.
