The athlete from Camagüey sent the implement to 62.60 meters on her first throw, which proved unreachable for local competitor Vanesa Kamga (62.16), who left Germany's Kristin Pudenz (61.75) in third place.

In the same competition, Dacsy Brison cleared the high jump bar at 1.88 meters and finished with the silver medal in a contest she dominated until the fifth jump.

Brison achieved 1.85 meters on her second attempt at that height, then cleared 1.88 meters on her first try. Meanwhile, host athlete Louise Eckman reached the first of those heights on her third attempt, and the second after failing initially. That left the Cuban in the lead. However, facing the 1.91-meter bar, her rival was decisive on her very first attempt, while Brison failed all three of her attempts.

Third place went to the Czech Republic's Michaela Hrubá with 1.85 meters.

Also in the discus, but in the men's competition, Mario Alberto Díaz improved compared to his previous outings, but not enough to reach the podium. The athlete from Matanzas finished fourth with a mark of 62.13 meters, in an event won by Jamaica's Roje Stona with an impressive 67.79 meters. Germany's Steven Richter was close behind (67.44), and third place went to three-time world champion and Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medalist Daniel Stahl of Sweden, who settled for 64.88 meters this time.
