WOW! Rojas 15.43!

I just saw that and tried to get a series but did not succeed. The triple jump is not typically won by four feet/1.23 meters

Can't remember exact numbers, but I saw it was a foul, 14.73 (?), the 15.43, then a 14.51 (?).
Only saw 4 jumps, so maybe they allowed only 4!

Of interest, maybe -- Francine Niyonsaba ran 15:12.08 for third in the 5K at the Meeting Jaén Paraíso Interior

Equals her indoor WR and 2cm farther than her outdoor PB, which was #2. Clock is ticking on the 15.50m WR now.

Also now gives her 3 of the top 5 outdoor jumps in history

15.31 is also the 11th best jump in history and (I think) the farthest ancillary jump ever

Also at the same meet:

Paweł Fajdek - Hammer Throw - 81.62m

I have zero idea what Ms Rojas is waiting for 😉

Like Edwards, her jumps sure don't look impressive; she just goes really far . . .

Her 2nd phase looks non existent

[Atticus]

She doesn't look quick on the runway and doesn't have much knee-drive, but I'm guessing she's moving much faster than it looks.

She's much taller than Edwards, looks ungainly almost.

In Jamaica, Rasheed Broadbell, who ran a 13.15 earlier in the season, ran 13.10 (0.4) today. Makes him a putative OG finalist.
