The 23-year-old Spaniard delivered under pressure in a high-quality competition that saw three athletes achieve season’s best or personal best marks, underlining the strength of Spanish women’s long jumping ahead of major championships.
Thrilling Battle on the Runway
Fatima Diame, a seasoned international competitor, pushed Ebosele all the way, improving her own Personal Best to an outstanding 6.85m to take silver. The razor-thin margin of just one centimetre between gold and silver created a memorable showdown between two of Spain’s top talents.
Irati Mitxelena rounded off the podium in third place with a solid 6.73m, completing an all-Spanish top three that delighted the home crowd at the Pistes d’atletisme Gaetà Huguet.
