Freshly crowned champion of the Santo Domingo 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, the athlete from Pinar del Río posted an excellent 14.91-meter mark on Sunday that, at any other moment, would have secured her the top spot on the podium.

However, Senegalese Sally Sarr had a better day and set a national record of 15.08 meters, thus taking first place in an event that had Cuban independent competitor Davisleydi Velazco in third with 14.84 meters.

Leyanis, who holds a season-best of 15.06 meters, recorded three other jumps above 14.60, confirming her consistency among the year's top performers, and reached 28 points to share the ranking lead with Sarr herself.

Fellow Pinar del Río native Liadagmis Povea finished sixth with 14.18 meters and sits fifth in the prestigious circuit standings with 15 points.

In the 400 meters, Cuban Roxana Gómez again ran within her seasonal times but crossed the line in ninth place; her mark of 50.88 seconds was not enough for a better finish in a race won by Dominican Marileidy Paulino with 48.87 seconds. The Olympic champion now has 40 points and holds a five-point lead over Jamaican Nickisha Pryce, who finished second in 49.49 seconds. Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain completed the podium with 49.57 seconds.

Other Sunday results featured meet records, including Jamaican Oblique Seville's 9.83 seconds in the 100 meters and Ethiopian Gemechu Godana's 8:02.74 minutes in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Only two stages remain on the circuit: Zurich on August 27 and the final in Brussels on September 4 and 5.
