Ivan Pedroso of Cuba is unlikey to be credited with a world record for his long jump of 8.96 meters last Saturday in Sestriere, Italy, because officials of the Italian athletics federation said Thursday they would not recommend that it be ratified.

Video tapes taken of the competition showed a man standing in front of the wind gauge during each of Pedroso's six attempts, according to an Italian federation spokesman. Of 60 jumps at the Italian Alpine resort, only four were attempted in an allowable wind of 2 meters per second of less, and three were made by Pedroso.

The following wind registered at 1.2 meters per second during the record leap. The man obstructing the gauge was identified as Luciano Gemello, a former pole vaulter who is now a professional atheltics coach in Italy.

"Each time Pedroso got up to jump, the man would go and stand up right in front of the anonometer," theItalian federation's spokesman, Enrico Jacomini, said. "He stood half a foot in front of the anonometer. He stood there for all six of Pedroso's jumps and for no one else's. We spoke to the man. He said he was very fond of the long jump, and because Pedroso was the best long-jumper in the field, he was interested only in Pedroso.
