ZIMBABWE’s leading triple jumper Chengetayi Mapaya finished 15th in the men’s final at the World Athletics Indoor Championships 2026 held in Poland.
Mapaya registered a best mark of 16.25m, holding his own against the world’s elite in a highly competitive field.
However, the distance fell short of his usual standards, with the African Championships silver medallist and two-time NCAA champion boasting a personal best of 17.26m.
Focus now shifts to the outdoor season, where the Zimbabwean star will be aiming to rediscover top form and potentially produce even bigger jumps.
