Rouguy Diallo (French pronunciation:[ʁu.ɡidja.lo]; born 5 February 1995) is a French athlete who specialises in thetriple jump.
Diallo was born inNice, and began triple jumping in 2006.[1] She set a new French national junior record at an event inArgentan in 2014, with an attempt of 13.74 m.[1][citation needed]
Diallo won her first major medal at the2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics inEugene, Oregon. She broke her own national junior record twice during the event, landing a 14.24 m jump in her first attempt with a 3.2 m/s headwind. After a foul in the second round, she jumped 14.44 m with help from a 3.3 m/s headwind, an attempt that was enough to win her the gold medal. However, these two attempts were not accepted as national junior records as there was too much headwind when they were made.[2] Her fourth attempt of 14.20 was accepted as a national junior record, and also became the 15th longest attempt of all time in the junior women's triple jump. She became the third French triple jumper to win a world junior title for France afterBenjamin Compaoré in2006 andTeddy Tamgho in2008.[3]
Diallo is mentored by fellow French triple jumperTeddy Tamgho, who is the current triple jumpworld indoor record holder at 17.92 m.[2] She currently trains at the Nice Côte d'Azur Athlétisme club inNice.[1]
