La criolla competirá en salto de longitud GERARDO JAVIER ROMERO La medallista olímpica venezolana, Yulimar Rojas, anunció que participará en la disciplina de salto de longitud en el marco de la novena parada de la Liga Diamante este 21 de julio. La información la dio a conocer el Team Rojas a través de un comunicado de prensa en el que detalló que buscará su clasificación en esta categoría a los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024. “Así es, vamos a ir a Mónaco a buscar la marca que nos clasifique a Juegos Olímpicos en longitud también, ya que el calendario de París 2024 está puesto para doblar en triple y largo”, expresó Rojas. La última vez que Yulimar realizó una participación de este tipo fue el 13 de junio de 2021 en el Campeonato Nacional de Clubes en La Nucía, España. En esa oportunidad alcanzó su marca personal con un salto de 6.88 metros. “Esa es la única marca que tengo en longitud y es del 2021, porque la del año pasado me la eliminaron”, agregó la criolla. Para poder clasificar a los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024, Yulimar Rojas tendrá que superar la barrera de los 6.86 metros que son exigidos por World Athletics como marca mínima. “En los próximos olímpicos saltaré triple el día 3 de agosto y luego el 8 sería la prueba de longitud, lo que nos daría unos días para descansar y estar a tope”, concluyó. Las rivales de la venezolana para esta competencia serán la francesa Hilary Kpatcha y la italiana Larissa Lapichino; así como Ese Brume, Quanesha Burks, Tara Davis, Fátima Diame y Jazmín Sawyers. Yulimar Rojas viene de conquistar la medalla de oro en triple salto durante los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe San Salvador 2023 con una distancia de 15.16 metros.   Para recibir en tu celular esta y otras informaciones, únete a nuestras redes sociales, síguenos en Instagram, Twitter y Facebook como @DiarioElPepazo El Pepazo/Líder

The soft skills that entry-level jobs teach—responsibility, teamwork, diligence, etc.—are universally marketable and transferable to all varieties of endeavors.

Likewise, Burks’s path toward gold medals can be traced back to the golden arches. “Working in a fast food chain helped me become the person I am,” she told ESPN.

How to handle things under pressure. During rush hour you have to flip burgers, take orders and be professional at the same time. In track and field, you’re at the Olympic trials, every jump counts. You’re trying to make a team, so everything I learned from a young age has equipped me to be where I am.

Leticia Oro Melo, revelación con su medalla de bronce

Si la brasileña Leticia Oro Melo había sorprendido con su clasificación para la final del salto en largo -marcó 6.64, un centímetro más que su mejor registro personal- aún mayor fue la sorpresa con su medalla de bronce, este domingo 24 de julio, en el cierre del Campeonato Mundial en Eugene, Oregón. Ella impactó de entrada con sus 6.89 metros (viento de 1,1 ms), mientras que sus cinco restantes saltos fueron nulos. Solamente la alemana Malaika Mihambo y la nigeriana Ese Brume se trenzaron en los primeros puestos, en tanto otras rivales pujaron por el bronce y quedaron cerca, pero no pudieron desplazar a la brasileña: la estadounidense Quanesha Burks registró 6.88 m. para el cuarto puesto, un centímetro más que la australiana Brooke Buschluehel y la sueca Khaddi Sagnie, todas en la segunda ronda. Mihambo se consagró con 7.12, diez centímetros por delante de Brume. Leticia, oriunda del estado de Santa Catarina (5-10-97), se convirtió así en la primera brasileña que llega al podio en el historial del salto en largo en los Mundiales, prueba en la que sus compatriotas Maurren Higa Maggi (campeona olímpica 2008 en Beijing) y Keila da Silva Costa sí habían sido finalistas. Leticia ya "navegaba" por arriba de los 6 metros en 2016, temporada en la que consiguió 6.11 para un sexto puesto en el Trofeo Brasil. Recién se proyectó internacionalmente en la pasada temporada, cuando ganó el título sudamericano en Guayaquil con marca personal de 6.63 m. También había logrado esa marca, pero con viento a favor, en Braganca Paulista. Una operación en el pie la marginó por varios meses de entrenamientos y competencias. De hecho, en este 2022 sólo había alcanzado a competir en el Trofeo Brasil, el 25 de junio en Rio de Janeiro, donde marcó 6.59 metros. Ahora se superó en la qually de Eugene con 6.64 y llegó a los 6.89 en la final que constituyen el tercer registro histórico de Sudaméricana, sólo precedida por Maggi y la colombiana -reina del triple salto en la era pre Yulimar- Caterine Ibarguen.   Read the full article

Quanesha Burks - from McDonalds to the Tokyo Olympics in Long Jump!! > if we can get all people access to facilities that can train them to do what they want, imagine where we can go and do. The problem with socialism is not that "everybody will be able to follow their dreams" as socialists like to paint their utopia, the problem is that socialism gives more power to the state to administrate the wealth of the private person which at the end results in a better quality of life to the kids of the state just check how the family of Chavez, Castro and other socialists are doing versus the people they "take care off".... Got an opinion about this? See what others are saying....

Ole Miss thrower Raven Saunders is one of 10 women on the 2017 preseason watch list for The Bowerman Award, collegiate track & field’s highest individual honor.

It was just weeks ago that Saunders was in Orlando as one of three finalists for the 2016 edition of the award, which went to Texas sprinter Courtney Okolo. The iconic 35-pound trophy named after legendary Oregon coach Bill Bowerman has been presented by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) to the top man and woman in college track & field each year since 2009.

Entering her junior year, Saunders will look to pick off where she left off last summer, when she rode an incredible sophomore campaign all the way to a fifth-place finish in the shot put at the Rio Olympics, three months after her 20th birthday.

Some of the most notable accomplishments of Saunders’ sophomore season, her first in an Ole Miss uniform, were NCAA outdoor shot put champion, indoor and outdoor SEC shot put champion, indoor collegiate shot put record (19.23m/63-1.25), outdoor collegiate shot put record (19.33m/63-5), NCAA outdoor shot put meet record (19.33m/63-5), SEC outdoor shot put meet record (18.58m/60-11.5), SEC Commissioner’s Trophy for most points scored at the league’s outdoor meet, two-time National Athlete of the Week, five-time SEC Athlete of the Week.

Saunders became the first female thrower to be named a Bowerman finalist last year.

She is joined on the preseason watch list by fellow 2016 finalist Keturah Orji of Georgia, as well as Alabama’s Quanesha Burks, Kentucky’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, Oregon’s Raevyn Rogers, Notre Dame’s Molly Seidel, Oregon’s Deajah Stevens, Oregon’s Ariana Washington, Georgia’s Kendell Williams and Arkansas’ Lexi Weeks. Saunders is the only thrower in the field of 10.
