Jordan Díaz stands out among the high competitive level of Gallur

The reappearance in Madrid of Jordan Díaz, who was turning 23, resulted in a magnificent record of 17.52 in the triple jump. With a bandage on his thigh that showed his recent injury problems, the national record holder delighted the audience that filled the hall.. Díaz, in order not to force his still tender condition, did not exhaust all his attempts in a contest in which no rival reached 17 meters.

The Gallur rally, which closed the World Indoor Gold Tour, seeded the track with very good marks. Especially the one achieved by Devynne Charlton in the 60 meter hurdles. The Bahamian, a 1.60 car, the recent world distance record holder with 7.67, equaled, in a kind of replica turn, by the American Tia Jones, won with 7.68, just one hundredth of their shared record.

The 800 had a high global level. The Italian Catalin Tecuceanu became the world leader of the year with 1:45.00. He gave a good account of the excellent trio of Spaniards: Mohamed Attaoui (1:45.67), Adrián Ben (1:45.72) and a resurrected Álvaro de Arriba (1:45.88).

Jamaican Rajindra Campbell (22.16) and New Zealander Tom Walsh (22.03) competed in the shot put over 22 meters. And the fraternal-fratricidal duel in the 60 hurdles between Asier Martínez and Enrique Llopis ended with the preponderance of the former (7.50) compared to the latter's 7.51. But… both were beaten by the Italian Lorenzo Simonelli (7.46).
