Robert Emmiyan (Armenian: Ռոբերտ Էմմիյան; born 15 February 1965 in Leninakan, Armenian SSR)[2] is a retired long jumper who represented the USSR and Armenia. He is the fourth best long jumper in history and the best long jumper not of African descent. His personal best jump of 8.86 metres, which he achieved in Tsaghkadzor in May 1987, is the current European record.
Emmiyan received the Honoured Master of Sports of the USSR award in 1987.[citation needed]
An annual track and field meeting in Artashat, Armenia, has been held in his honour since 2001 – the Emmiyan Cup.[3]
