July 20th, 2015 |
Romanian athlete Georgiana Anitei has conquered the world title and the gold medal of the triple jump event of the IAAF World Youth Championship held in Cali, Colombia, imposing herself categorically from the first to the last jump, the sixth jump marking, at 13.49 m, the best performance in the world this year.
The silver and bronze medals were won, at a considerable difference, by Chinese athlete Rui Zeng — 13.04 m (second best jump 12.98), and Cuban Yanna Anay Armenteros — 13.04 m (second best jump 12.74), respectively.
Georgiana Anitei is thus the third Romanian champion in the triple jump of the competition, the title being won previously by Florentina Marincu in Donetsk, in 2013, with a 13.75 m jump, and Cristine Spataru who set the record of the event, with 13.86, in Sherbrooke, Canada, in 2003.
Born on March 26, 1999, Georgiana Iuliana Anitei is a member of the SCM Bacau club where she is coached by Cristi Nemteanu. She is also set to take part in the finals of the long jump event in Cali. AGERPRES
