BUDAPEST: Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela soared to her fourth consecutive world triple jump title on Fri-day night, securing victory on her sixth and last jump to narrowly avoid disaster.
The world record holder and Olympic champion - unbeaten in more than two years - only sneaked into the final round of eight jumpers in last place before summoning a magical 15.08 metres on her final attempt to overtake Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk of Ukraine.
Bekh-Romanchuk, silver medallist in the long jump at the 2019 worlds, had to settle for another silver with 15.00. Leyanis Perez Hernandez of Cuba won the bronze with 14.96. Agencies
