Yamile Aldama: Claimed gold with jump of 14.82m in Istanbul
Yamile Aldama handed Great Britain their second medal at the World Indoor Championships after jumping for gold in the women's triple jump in Istanbul.
Aldama, who has previously competed for Cuba and Sudan, produced a brilliant jump of 14.82 metres in the second round.
The 39-year-old then appeared to suffer an injury during her third round jump - which was a foul - but did not even need to jump again as none of her rivals were able to overhaul her.
Olga Rypakova of Kazakhstan took the silver with 14.63m and Mabel Gay of Cuba claimed bronze with 14.29m.
