A gold medallist in the Tokyo Olympics last year, Rojas registered the winning mark of 15.47m in her second attempt in the finals. Shanieka Ricketts Of Jamaica finished second on 14.89m while the third place went to home favourite Tori Franklin who posted a season's best of 14.72m.
Rojas started with a 14.60m jump in her first attempt. She went a notch above in the second 바카라 which proved to be the winning mark 바카라 before reaching a distance of 15.24m in her third. She committed two fouls in her fourth and fifth attempts before flagging off with a 15.39m jump.
However, Rojas wasn바카라t satisfied with her leap. 바카라It is not the distance I wanted, but I am happy,바카라 she said. 바카라It has been a beautiful day, even it hasn't been my best day during the event. I came here after a short preparation. I have recovered from injury.
바카라I think [this title] is a reward for perseverance, will and believing that I can achieve what I've achieved today. It feels different than Belgrade 2022 (World Indoors), but it is special as well because Oregon brings me good memories.바카라
Meanwhile, Rojas is still focused on her goal of reaching the elusive 16m mark. 바카라It is a goal that I have in mind. I am focused on that,바카라 she said. 바카라It is my most important goal for now and I know that I am close. I feel that I have it in my legs, but I need to adjust some details.
바카라I hope to jump better in the next competition and to be able to reach that prodigious and important barrier,바카라 added Rojas.
