Yulimar ROJAS - Venezuela - Fourth World championship gold for Yulimar.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk began with a season best leap of 15.00m and

recorded jumps of 14.81m, and 14.97m. After five attempts Yulimar Rojas

had three no jumps and a 'best' of 14.33m.  Could she?   She is not the world

record holder for reason 15.08m on her last jump.  Easy.  Perhaps not, but a

teasing day from the star.

But a fourth World gold medal for her collection.
