Deborah Achleitner of Innsbruck won the bronze medal in the long jump at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar with a jump of 5.72 m on her final attempt! The gold medal went to Italy’s Poko Silvia Canape with a jump of 5.92 m, ahead of Morocco’s Maria Saadi (5.89).

It was a real nail-biter in the long jump final! After the fifth attempt, Deborah was still two centimeters behind Estonian Bianca Maria Vuks, who had jumped 5.64 m on her third attempt, with a jump of 5.62 m. And at the top of the standings, Canape ultimately soared to the gold with a jump of 5.92 m in her sixth and final attempt.

“It was insanely exciting”
“Right from the start, it wasn’t clear what was going to happen in today’s final,” Deborah said after the competition. “It really was incredibly exciting. Of course, I’d been hoping for a medal. My last attempt was my longest jump—that was great! Of course, I’m absolutely thrilled now!”
