Irregular shoes prevented triple jumper Rojas from starting at the World Championships in distance

In Mexico, Rojasová used triple jumping shoes, which have a thicker sole compared to long-distance ones. 20 millimeters is limited for distance, triple jumper shoes have a limit of 25 mm. According to World Athletics, Rojasová’s next possible start in the long-distance competition, already in the corresponding shoes, was made impossible by an injury.

“Obviously this is disappointing for her and her legions of fans, but we look forward to her performance in the triple jump in Eugene and her qualifying in both events for next year’s World Championships in Budapest,” Reuters quoted the world association as saying.

The World Championships in Eugene will begin on July 15.
