Alvalade triple jumper in good form in outdoor season opener

Patrícia Mamona made her 4th best career jump this week, with a distance of 14.42m (just 23cm off her national record) in the Rome Diamond League's triple jump competition.

It was a fine start to the outdoor season for Mamona, who has only jumped further on three occasions: The Rio 2016 Olympic Games (14.54m), the 2016 Amsterdam European Championships (14.58m) and the 2012 Helsinki European Championships (14.52m).
