His personal best jump is 8.40 metres, achieved on 14 July 2010 in Nuoro. Prior to this, his lifetime best was 8.35 metres, achieved on 4 July 2009 in Madrid. He jumped 8.57 metres at the same competition, but there was too much wind (+3.6 metres per second).[3]
On April 18, 2010, at the Australian Athletics Championship in Perth, Lapierre grabbed the national title with a last-round jump of 8.78, again with an illegal tailwind of +3.1 metres per second.[4] This was the longest jump in the world under any conditions since Iván Pedroso's 8.96 in Sestriere in 1995.
