The Greek champion produced an outstanding 8.40-meter effort on his fourth attempt, moving into first place and putting himself in position to win the title. He held the lead until the last round.
Gayle, however, had the final word. On his sixth and final attempt, the Jamaican reached 8.46 meters, overtaking Tentoglou and claiming the 2026 Diamond Trophy.
The late reversal left Tentoglou in second place, but the final produced a dramatic battle that remained open until the last jump.
