Fabian Heinle (born 14 May 1994) is a German long jumper. [1] Representing his nation Germany at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Heinle registered his best jump at 8.25 metres from the national meet in Oberteuringen a year before the Games. He currently trains under Hungarian-born coach Tamas Kiss for LAV Stadtwerke Tübingen in Stuttgart. [2]
Heinle competed for Germany in the men's long jump at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. [2] [3] There, he spanned his opening legal jump at 7.64 metres, before producing a cautious foul on his second attempt. Heinle extended his third leap to a mark of 7.79 metres, but it was not enough to put him through to the final round, placing him in eighteenth out of thirty-two athletes. [4]
