Record in triple jump for Yulimar Rojas in Madrid

The 15.43 m of the Venezuelan, which is trained in Guadalajara to the orders of Pedroso, improve the record of Lebedeva (2004).

A world record floated, impalpable and restless, in the dense atmosphere of a crowded and optimistic pavilion. It was the triple female jump. The presence of Yulimar Rojas I did predict it, since it did not assure. The high (1.92) and expressive Venezuelan, motivated since the warm-up, touched it in the fourth attempt (15,29) and broke it in the sixth and last. His 15.43 sent to the loft the 15.36 held by the Russian (suspicious) Tatiana Lebedeva since 2004

Yulimar looked for the record from the beginning. It sits within your body and in your mind. In his pursuit, he always risked a lot in the whisk and of his three nulls he made two very good and long nulls. Its imposing brand is a reality and also an advertisement. If something very similar to a personal and an environmental catastrophe does not occur, the absolute record falls this summer. It belongs since August 1995 to the Ukrainian Inessa Kravets, which made 15.50 at the Gothenburg World Cup.

Outdoors, Rojas jumped 15.41 last season. We are, therefore, faced with a record that we could consider imminent and unavoidable, if it were not because, in sport, you can never secure anything either for or against. The Madrid flag Gallur is something very similar to a talisman for this girl born in Caracas on October 21, 1995. Under her roof she began her sports career in 2015.

Bright Echevarra

She lives in Guadalajara, is trained by Ivn Pedroso and with her money at the Ro Games, she became the first Venezuelan to win an Olympic medal. His technical progress has been rapid and remarkable. It used to be a skein of defects. Now to his privileged physicist, a gift of cradle, he has added acquired virtues. A star has not been born. It already exists. But it has grown to fill the sky.

The rally was built around two jumps: triple the number of women and the length of men. Around Yulimar Rojas and the young Cuban (21 years old) Juan Miguel Echevarra. The other figures, a small but select piquito, officiated as escorts. Echevarra does not disappoint. He established the hierarchies in the act. In his first attempt he planted in 8.33. It was enough. But in the last it reached 8.41. World's best brand of the year.

There were other excellent records. Ronnie Baker (USA) gained 60 meters with 6.44. The british Andrew Pozzi, the 60 fences with 7.48. The etope Wale Getnet, the 3,000 (7: 39.96), in a test in which Ouassim Oumaiz I broke the record of Spain U23 (7: 44.39). The croatian Filip Mihaljevic, the launch of weight (21,74). The enclosure turned off the light and closed its eyes with the image of Yulimar Rojas in its plastic, glass and cement retina.
