a cubana Daily Cooper se colgó hoy el oro en los mil 500 metros femeninos de atletismo de los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe Santo Domingo 2026
Cuban athlete Daily Cooper claimed gold today in the women's 1,500 meters at the Santo Domingo 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, winning with a time of 4:07.46 that shattered the competition record.
On the track at the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez, Cooper drew a wave of applause as she broke the previous mark of 4:10.39, set by Venezuela's Jocelyn Brea at the last edition of the Games in San Salvador 2023.
The battle for the podium took on a distinctly Caribbean flavor as fellow Cuban Anisleidis Ochoa claimed silver with a time of 4:08.87, while Mexico's Lorena Rangel completed the trio of medalists with bronze in 4:12.06.
At 24 years old, Camagüey native Daily Cooper—Pan American runner-up in Santiago, Chile 2023, and bronze medalist in San Salvador 2023—reaffirmed her standing as one of the region's top middle-distance runners with this gold-medal performance.
