World silver medalist Shanieka Ricketts bounded out to a season-best mark of 14.52m to win the women’s triple jump at the 2022 Kuortane Games – World Athletics Continental Tour Silver level meeting in Finland on Saturday.
Ricketts, who entered the weekend with a season-best of 14.43m, opened the competition with a jump of 13.52m before improving that effort with second and third round measures of 14.00m and 14.36m.
The Jamaican then hopped out to a pair of marks over 14m before landing at her winning standard in the sixth and final round of the competition. Read more: UPDATED: Paris Diamond League 2022 results on June 18
Finland’s Senni Salminen, who led the contest up until the third completion of the third round, eventually finished second with a season-best of 14.32m, while Olympic finalist Thea LaFond from Dominica ended third with a 14.19m effort in the final round.
Ricketts, who just missed winning a medal at the Tokyo Olympics last summer, will now turn her attention to the Jamaica National Championships next week. She will then seek to add to the silver medal she won in Doha in 2019.
