Monaco, July 20th. Cuban skipper Yarisley Silva today recorded her best mark of the season, when the bar surpbaded the 4.80 meters, at the Monaco stop corresponding to the Diamond League.

It was an excellent performance for the Caribbean who finished in second place only behind the Russian Anjelika Sidorova (4.85), and surpbading nothing more and nothing less than the holder of the Olympic title and the world, the Greek Katerina Stefanidi (4.80), for less mistakes.

Silva started the game comfortably over 4.40 and then 4.60. Then he resigned at 4.75 and raised the yardstick to 4.80, which he overtook in his first attempt. Then he had two fouls over 4.85 and retired at his third chance.

The competition was a very tight competition which counted on the presence of all the "heavyweights" of the vault of the world. American Sandi Morris finished in fourth place, also at 4.80, followed by her compatriots Katie Nageotte (4.75) and personal mark, and Jennifer Suhr (4.75).

The result meant an important incentive for Yarisley in his aspirations to reach the crown of the Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla in what will be a hard blow against the Venezuelan Peelado Robeilys. (PL) (Photo: Archivo)
