:VEN Yulimar Rojas (athletics) :cry::cry:

 

Reigning Olympic Champion in women’s triple jump, reigning World Record holder, reigning 4x World Champion and widely considered as the best athlete all time in this event, but won’t be defending her title at Paris after suffering an achilles injury during training. Wide open for the gold medal now.

Damn :(

 

There were already a surprising amount of potential challengers, but of course she was still the favourite even with the rise in level recently. Now the fight has the potential to be amazing, including a potential bit of history for Dominica.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

She was probably in the top 5 most secure Golds in the whole OG :yikes: And the season hasn't even started properly.

 This is devastating. Yulimar Rojas is one of my fav athletes. Had a nice photo with her in Budapest. 
 

As always this is the worst part of these last months before Olympics - almost everyday news on who will miss the games due to injury… ☹️
