Women's Triple Jump, just witnessed a new world record held by Yulimar Rojar from Venezuela with a 15.67 meter jump.
In the mens high jump we have a shared gold medal by Mutaz Essa Barshim og Qatar and Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy both refused to fight it out, history made here.
Now the 100 meter men's final is up, are we going to witness sporting greatness in all its glory. My money is on the south African to win this one...
False start for Zharnel Huges of Great Britain 🇬🇧 Disqualified
That's right, the Venezuelan making history, she is very effusive, she asked the public for applause to motivate herself, in fact, she shows that it is very easy, on the third attempt was when she imposed the WR:
It was no surprise that Venezuela's Yulimar Rojas won the gold in the women's triple jump final and set a new world record of 15.67 in the bargain. She was followed to the podium by Patricia Mamona of Portugal and Spain's Ana Peleteiro.

In Venezuela 🇻🇪 we are happy and proud for the triumph of Yulimar Rojas to achieve the gold medal in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and that she has also broken a new world record in her attempt in the triple jump reaching 15.67 meters.
She is an exceptional athlete. Last year she was chosen as the female athlete of the year for her high performance.
As a curious fact and why it is important to focus on pursuing dreams and giving our best when we set out to do something.
She has been lucky! In 2015 and thanks to the Facebook algorithm that it uses to recommend friendship, Yulimar received the friendship recommendation of Iván Pedroso, the Cuban multi-time long jump champion. She didn't think twice and sent him the friend request and wrote him a message saying everything that she admired him and that she wanted him to be her coach.
She thought that she would not receive an answer from him but fortunately he responded by showing his interest given her potential and invited her to train in Spain and it was the best thing that could have happened to her because thanks to the training and her great skills this Venezuelan woman has done history.
Ivan Pedroso is also the coach of the bronze medalist Ana Peletero of Spain.
