NCAA Champion Wayne Pinnock signalled his intention to challenge for a medal at this summer's World Championships in Budapest by leaping 8.32 metres to retain his long title ahead of 2019 gold medallist Tajay Gayle with 8.27m on Saturday's third and penultimate day of the Jamaican Championships.
Following a ninth place finish in Oregon last summer, Pinnock, who sits third in the world with a mark of 8.37m achieved two months ago, is now aiming to get to the final and secure an elusive medal.
The two-time world championship silver medallist was elated to recover in time from an injury sustained at the Oslo Diamond league meet on June 16 to win ahead of Ackelia Smith with 14.26m. 2019 World Shot Put silver medallist Danielle Thomas-Dodd threw 19.08 metres to win her eighth national title. "I always say that everyone has to show up on the day, so I never count myself out. I think once I continue to be consistent, as I'm right now, anything is possible," Thomas-Dodd reasoned.
