Déja à la naissance des jeux olympiques modernes ,les américains commencèrent à s'intéresser aux épreuves d'athlétisme de force -vitesse où ils acquièrent une grande connaissance des méthodes spécifiques pour le développement physique et l'évolution téchnique de l'épreuve du saut en longueur .
L'approche téchnique américaine en saut en longueur a été toujours orientée vers l'éxécution rapide du saut en utilisant le style du double ciseau.
Le progrés des athlétes américains dans cette discipline était trés remarquable avec une dynamique de performances plus ou moins linéaire durant des décennies.
Mais ces dernières années de nouvelles conditions semblent s'imposer pour changer le fameux palmares des américains.
La fin de carrière et le départ des anciens sauteurs américains comme Carl Lewis et Mike Powell ont levé le voile sur une nouvelle génération de nouveuax sauteurs qui jusque là n'ont pu confirmer leur suprématie .
Ceci semble faire une rupture avec les années de gloire de Jesse Owens, Ralph Boston , Bob Beamon , Larry Myricks , Carl Lewis et Mike Powell.
A travers ce recul , le premier élement qui saute aux yeux des téchniciens et spécialistes est le niveau téchnique de cette reléve de sauteurs qui est en régression régulière depuis le départ des anciennes stars.
Le championnat du monde d'athlétisme d'Osaka 2007 et les J.O de Pékin 2008 constituent un exemple significatif pour démontrer la régression des résultats et meme l'absence inéxpliquée des sauteurs américains à la finale des derniers jeux olympiques . La meme remarque est aussi valable pour leurs compatriotes au triple saut qui ont vécu la meme situation lors de cette meme manifatation mondiale .
Peut etre un nouveau système de préparation qui est entrain de se faire chez les américains pour orienter une nouvelle piste de recherche de nouvaux athlétes et entraineurs capables de faire au moins ce qui ont pu faire leurs ainés qui ces derniers ont voulu choisir de prendre leurs retraites ou carrrement choisir le retrait de toute séléction a cause de mauvaises conditions économiques que vit l'athlétisme .
Et voici une étude et une analyse restreinte personnelle qui reflète la dynamique des résultats chez les athlètes américains lors des championnat du monde d'athlétisme et leurs présences sur les tablettes mondiales des 10 dernières années (1999-2008).
D'abord quelques informations téchniques sur les sauteurs américains qui ont marqué la légende du saut en longueur:

ENGLISH VERSION :
LONG JUMP BACK IN THE UNITED STATES ?
Already at birth of the modern Olympic games, the Americans began to take an interest in athletics strenght-speed where they gain extensive knowledge of specific methods for the physical and technical developments of the long jump .
The technical approach American long jump has always been oriented towards the rapid execution of the jump using a style as hitch kick.
The advancement of American athletes in this discipline was remarkable with a very dynamic performance more or less linear for decades .
But in recent years new conditions appear necessary to change the list of famous Americans.
The end of career and the departure of former U.S. jumpers like Carl Lewis and Mike Powell has unveiled a new generation of jumpers which hitherto could not confirm their supremacy.
This seems to make a break with the glory years of Jesse Owens, Ralph Boston, Bob Beamon, Larry Myricks, Carl Lewis and Mike Powell.
With this decline, the first thing that jumps in the eyes of technicians and specialists is the technical level of this changing of jumpers which is declining steadily since the departure of former stars.
The World Championships in Athletics Osaka 2007 and Beijing 2008 Olympics are an example to demonstrate the results of regression and even the unexplained absence of U.S. jumpers in the final of the last Olympics. The same remark is also valid for their compatriots in the triple jump who experienced the same situation at the same world competitions .
Maybe a new system of preparation that has been occurring in the U.S. do to guide a new direction of research new athletes and coaches able of doing at least what could be their elders that they wanted to choose to retire definitively or choose the selection of any withdrawal because of poor economic conditions being experienced athletics.
And here is a study and a limited personal analysis that reflects the dynamics results among American athletes at the World Championships in Athletics and their presence on the shelves around the world last 10 years (1999-2008).
