Triple jumper Kimberly Williams last year earned world indoor silver and Commonwealth gold medals. The 30-year-old reflects on what she would tell her pre-teenage self, growing up as a youngster on the Caribbean island of Jamaica.

Kimberly Williams, the world indoor silver medallist and Commonwealth Games champion, has enjoyed a successful first half of the 2018 season. Here the 29-year-old Jamaican gives us the lowdown on her passion for the triple jump.

Caster Semenya took the first step towards a Commonwealth middle-distance double --and added to South Africa’s already impressive showing-- with a commanding victory in the 1500m on the third day of Games competition in Carrara Stadium.

Russia’s Yekaterina Koneva won a modest contest with the shortest winning mark since the event was formally introduced onto the competition programme at the 1993 World Indoor Championships.

There were only two automatic qualifiers in the women’s triple jump, with Jamaica’s Kimberly Williams and Ukraine’s Olga Saladukha going over 14.30m.
