In the last few days, two great results for South American athletics, both with the second best marks in the history of South America

 

Evelis Aguilar from clocked 49.80 in the 400 metres, a mark very close to the continental record held by Olympic medalist and fellow Colombian Ximena Restrepo with 49.64

 

Manuela Rotundo from , just 20 years old, scored an impressive 64.17 in the javelin throw at a university competition in the USA. This mark would have earned her a silver medal at Paris-2024 (she did not participate).

 

Uruguay has not won an Olympic medal since Sydney-2000 and the young Rotundo, a world junior medalist, seems like a good name to keep an eye on in the cycle.
