Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 26 (acn) Yarisley Silva will be the "spearhead" of the Cuban team in the World Indoor Athletics Championships, contest that will be attended by more than 600 athletes from 144 countries in the English city of Birmingham, starting next Thursday. Despite not competing so far the season, Silva is one of the favorites to the crown in the women´s pole vault, event where there will be a new queen because it was known that American Jennifer Suhr is not registered. Suhr won two years ago as local in Portland with 4.90 meters, when Silva didn´t participate and could not defend the scepter she had won in Sopot 2014, Poland, with 4.70m. Greek Ekaterini Stefanidi, Olympic and world outdoor monarch, owns the season best with 4.83m and will try to change the color of her 2016 bronze medal. The other Cubans attending this major contest will be triple jumpers Cristian Napoles and Andy Diaz, long jumpers Maikel Masso and Juan Miguel Echevarria, short hurdler Roger Valentin Iribarne, and women Yanniuvis Lopez (shot put) and Yorgelis Rodriguez (heptathlon). The latter will compete in pentathlon, modality that replaces heptathlon indoor, and also in high jump, her best individual event.
