Havana, January 7 (RHC)-- A high-level long jump event, due to the presence of three elite men, among them Cuban Maykel Massó, will take place at the Orlen Copernicus Cup of Indoor Athletics in Torun 2023, in Poland.

The event is scheduled for February 8 and, according to World Athletics (WA), fans will also be able to enjoy the jumps of Greek Miltiadis Tentoglou and American Marquis Dendy.

Massó, Olympic bronze medalist in Tokyo 2020 and fourth place in Oregon 2022, will be the main reference of the Island in the specialty during a season of important challenges, such as two multisport events and the World Athletics Championships in Budapest 2023.

In the previous campaign, the Santiago native barely took part in one event of the so-called winter tour and did not achieve valid marks in the indoor competition of Belgrade 2022, where Tentoglou was crowned.

The Hellenic has been dominant in the most recent elite competitions. He won at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and only missed out on gold at Oregon 2022, when China's Wang Jianan beat his mark in the final jump of the competition.

The northern Dendy exhibits medals in the last three world indoor invitationals: gold at Portland 2016 and bronze at Birmingham 2018 and Belgrade 2022.

The Torun meeting marks the third leg of the gold series within the World Athletics Indoor Tour 2023. Its organizers have also anticipated the presence of pole vaulters Piotr Lisek of Poland, a multiple world medalist, and Brazilian Rio 2016 Olympic champion Thiago Braz.

In the coming days, the flow of information on the participants in the scheduled indoor rallies should increase. Cuba will confirm other presentations of its representatives in these competitions.
