Her daughter was LJ Champion in one of the European U-20 or U-23 competitions a few months ago.

She won the U20 european championships with 6.58 m only shortly after turning 17, her name is Larissa Iapichino.

I hope to see more and more African nations stealing medals from Ethiopia and Kenya.

The problem is that they didnt find the way to show themselves , many talented athletes are marginalized in Africa

Uganda used to have a lot of very good athletes in the 60s & 70s, then they had a long period of dictatorship, civil war and went for a long time without anyone. The last 10 years things are getting a lot better.

My prediction was correct for Gold & bronze in jumping

Mihambo apparently improved her 100 m PB from 11.70 to 11.21 this year.
