Kaputin aiming for Tokyo 2020 Olympics

PNG’s long, triple and high jump record holder Rellie Kaputin is aiming to fulfil her dream of representing her country at this year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
Kaputin is targeting some high-level competitions in Australia over the next two months, starting tomorrow at the Coles Summer Series Meet in Canberra.
Coach Phillip Newton will be hoping that all the hard work over the past 12 months will be translated into some good results in the coming weeks. Kaputin returns to Canberra next month for the Canberra Track Classic and will also compete in the Queensland Championships and the Brisbane Classic before the season ends with the Australian Championships in April. The 27-year-old was in action in Brisbane last weekend and her best jump was 6.03m.
While this is some way below her best of 6.50m, Newton and Kaputin are confident that she will get better as the training load lightens and the focus turns to competitions.
