The young Cuban Leyanis Pérez dominated this Sunday the triple jump, with the leading mark of the season included, during her first foray of the year in the circuit of the Diamond League, a tournament that lived its second stop in the Moroccan city of Rabat.

The Caribbean, owner until today of a mark of 14.80 that represented the best of the campaign worldwide and her career, stretched now to 14.84 in her second attempt to further increase her excellent results in this 2023. At the same time, he confirmed the stability in a season where the Cuban triplists have won all the rallies where they have competed.

Leyanis opened the test with a discreet 14.08, to immediately recover in the next attempt. After that performance, he had another good time of 14.66 before dropping to 14.01 and closing the competition with two null attempts.

Behind her finished the Ukrainian Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk (14.65) and the Jamaican Shanieka Ricketts (14.53). Meanwhile, the also Creole Liadagmis Povea did not look in her best form and with 14.27 anchored in fourth place.

Among the best results of the day are the 70.32 of the Slovenian Kristjan Ceh in the discus throw, the 21.98 of the Jamaican Sharicka Jackson in the double hectometer, the 2.01 of the Ukrainian Yaroslava Mahuchikh and the excellent time of the local idol Soufiane El Bakkali (7:56.68) in the 3 thousand with obstacles.
