Saving her strongest effort for the final stretch, Ochoa launched a decisive sprint in the last two laps, leaving her competitors unable to respond, and crossed the finish line with a time of 16:57.67.<\/p>\n

This triumph marks Cuba\u2019s second podium finish in the 5,000 meters, following Yadisleivis Castillo\u2019s bronze medal performance at the 2014 Veracruz Games.<\/p>\n
