Flor RUIZ - Colombia - Fifth in javelin at 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Three months after setting a South American record of 66.70m Flor Ruiz must have

had hopes of improving upon her silver medal, at the 2023 World Championships.

But it did not happen for the three times South American Champion.

Her third throw of 63 metres was her best, for fifth place.
