Ibarguen's Big Dreams

Published by IAAF on March 4, 2015

Colombian triple jumper Caterine Ibarguen won her second successive Diamond Race title in 2014 and set a South American record of 15.31m at the Monaco IAAF Diamond League meeting.

Here the world triple jump champion looks back on a successful 2014 and talks about her goals for the season ahead.

You remain undefeated since the 2012 Olympic final and claimed your second Diamond Race trophy in 2014. How do you assess your season?

Caterine Ibarguen: It was an excellent year. Apart from the Diamond League wins and the 15.31m, I am proud of my consistency and of winning gold for Colombia at the Central American Games in Mexico and contributing to the Americas team at the Continental Cup. And I was very happy to be nominated for the IAAF Athlete of the Year Award.

You finally joined the 15-metre club with your 15.31m in Monaco and are now ranked fifth on the all-time list. What does this mean for you?

CI: This 15.31mm was a much expected result; I mean breaking the 15-metre mark. This result will help me aim for more, but I have to continue working on each aspect – the hop, step and jump. I have weaknesses in all three.
