NEW YORK, June 18, 2010 - Grenada's ace triple jumper Randy Lewis says his biggest challenge this season is overcoming inconsistent performances and maintaining his world ranked status.
The 31 year-old Olympian, whose best mark of 17.49m was recorded in Sao Paulo in 2008, has had two performances above the 17-metre mark this season.
His best efforts so far have been 17.08m in Montreuil-sous-Bois, France on June 8 and 17.01m in Daegu, South Korea on May 19.
Lewis recorded 16.76m to finish fifth at the adidas Diamond League Grand Prix at Icahn Stadium, Randall's Island, New York on June 12, a meet in which he struggled, having to battle inconsistent wind conditions.
"I had problems getting on the board and this is my biggest challenge," he said. However, Lewis is quite satisfied with his training and is looking forward to the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games in Puerto Rico in July and the Commonwealth Games in India in October.
"Other than getting on the board, everything is going well and I am stronger and jumping well in training but I just need to work on my run up," said the Germany-based athlete.
