 Yulimar Rojas (athletics) 

 

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.

She was probably in the top 5 most secure Golds in the whole OG  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… ☹️
