In the first of those events, scheduled for Thursday and Friday, regional champions triple jumper Lázaro Martínez and long jumper Jorge Hodelín will be vying for top honors. Martínez is entered in a field of eight competitors, among whom stands out fellow Cuban Andy Díaz—now competing for Italy—who leads the season with his recent 18.15-meter mark set at the European Championships.

Lázaro boasts a season-best of 17.33 meters, recorded at the Diamond League stop in Oslo, Norway, and will face other opponents including Pedro Pablo Pichardo—another Cuban representing Portugal—Jamaican Jordan Scott, and Algerian Yasser Mohammed Triki.

The triple jump will also be one of the events contested on Friday at the Pontaise Olympic Stadium, where young Hodelín will once again take on much more experienced rivals. The 19-year-old from Sancti Spíritus has posted consistent results above eight meters since February, with a top of 8.46 meters on June 13—registered as a world under-20 record.

The favorite in Lausanne will be Greek Olympian and world champion Miltiadis Tentoglou, who holds a season-best of 8.66 meters.

Cuban presence will continue in Silesia on Sunday, featuring triple jumpers Leyanis Pérez and Liadagmis Povea, along with 400-meter runner Roxana Gómez. All three shone in the Dominican capital—Pérez with her gold medal and her teammates with well-earned silvers. Pérez, reigning world champion both outdoors and indoors, posted 15.06 meters in the Monaco phase on July 10 and aims to repeat that victory now in the Italian city.
