PUMA Athlete Will Claye wins U.S. trials in triple jump

June 22, 2021

PUMA athlete Will Claye showed that he is on form this year, by winning the U.S. trials in Eugene, Oregon with a jump of 17.21 meters.
The triple jumper fought back from injury last year to be in form for what could be the most important year of his career. Claye has won two World Indoor Championships but is yet looking to win the top spot outdoors.

“I had a really good feeling about this jump and it’s great to see that my preparations are on track,” Claye said after the event. “My PUMA spikes felt great and gave me the confidence to go for it when it mattered most.”

With Will Claye, Portuguese athlete Pedro Pichardo and Cubans Andy Díaz and Jordan Díaz, PUMA has a very strong line-up of athletes in triple jump this season.

In other disciplines, there was good news for PUMA’s most recent signing in pole vault, KC Lightfoot, who came in third in the trials.

PUMA athletes show strong performance at first Word Athletics Indoor Tour events of 2021

This weekend, several PUMA world-class athletes showed top performances and were able to win their first World Athletics Indoor competition of the year. Among them are Mondo Duplantis, Liadagmis Povea, Renaud Lavillenie, Juan Miguel Echevarria, Wilhem Belocian and Nooralotta Neziri. It was the first performance test in 2021 for many PUMA track & field athletes this weekend. At the Word Athletics Indoor Tour Gold Meeting in Karsruhe, Germany, the ISTAF Indoor in Düsseldorf, Germany (both events were sponsored by PUMA) and the Indoor Athletics Meeting in Tourcoing, France. We saw several wins and personal bests for PUMA athletes at these events. There was also great pole vault action and a neck-and-neck race between PUMA athletes Mondo Duplantis and Renaud Lavillenie. Under strict hygiene requirements and unfortunately without an audience, it was still possible to hold high-class competitions.

Let’s Talk About Mental Health for Women in Sports

Behind the wins you see on screen, mental health struggles often go unseen for female athletes. While participating in professional sports can foster confidence, resilience and an exhilarating sense of purpose, it would be misleading to ignore the unique psychological challenges and gender-specific pressures that women in athletics face. This International Women’s Day we’re bringing the conversation around mental health to the forefront, continuing to break the stigma and support the well-being of our women in sports.
