The Caribbean completed a clean sweep of the women’s triple jump medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, with Dominica’s Thea LaFond leading the way to gold.

LaFond, the reigning Olympic champion, completed her full set of Commonwealth Games medals after adding gold to the silver she won in Birmingham in 2022 and the bronze she claimed at the 2018 Games on Australia’s Gold Coast.

The 32-year-old stamped her authority on the competition from the opening round, producing a leap of 14.52 metres to take the lead. She then improved to 14.59m in the third round, a mark that proved enough to secure victory.

Jamaica’s Ackelia Smith claimed the silver medal with a best jump of 14.04m.

Her compatriot Shantae Foreman took bronze with a leap of 13.96m.

Foreman had led the competition after the opening round before being overtaken by LaFond and later Smith.

The result completed a memorable day for Caribbean athletics, with the region claiming all three podium places in the event.
