Well done Rebecca!

While competing at the Palaindoor competition in Ancona Italy, Maltese triple jump athlete Rebecca Sare has quite literally jumped her way to the top after achieving a new national record.

Rebecca had lost the national record title just a week before, but she nonetheless managed to snatch that top spot once again.

The talented athlete jumped as high as 12.62 metres, impressing everyone with her incredible performance.

The previous national record was held by Claire Azzopardi. She is set to compete again this weekend, which means there might even be a possibility of her managing a new national record yet again.

What a powerful duo of Maltese athletes!
