the venezuelan Yulimar Rojasthe current Olympic and world triple jump champion, did not disappoint and in his first competition on the outdoor course he won the first place in the world ranking of the yearby signing this Sunday a better attempt that 14.96 meters in Madrid.
Rojas, universal record holder of the test with 15.74 meters, exceeded by twelve centimeters the best world record of the course so far, the 14.84 meters achieved by the Cuban Leyanis Pérez on May 28 in Rabat.
After zeroing in on his first two jumps, the Venezuelan triple jumper soared to 14.96 meters on his third attempt.
A mark that Yulimar Rojas, 27, could not surpass in his next three attempts, after registering a null on his fourth and fifth jumps and settling at 12.25 meters on his sixth and final attempt.
Only two valid jumps served the Venezuelan, who trains in Guadalajara under the command of Cuban Iván Pedroso, to win the triple jump event of the Spanish Club Championship taking place at the Vallehermoso stadium in Madrid.
