"Incredible! Yipsi Moreno returns to athletics with double gold in Albania."

In a radical turn of events in her recent history, the Olympic champion and former national athletics commissioner of Cuba, Yipsi Moreno, returned to competitions and showcased a magnificent physical form by winning the gold medals in the hammer throw and discus at the Albania Cup.

At the rally held on May 18th at the Elbasan Arena, Moreno made her debut with the Tirane team, achieving victory in the women's hammer throw with a distance of 63.94 meters; the best results in the sequence: 63.94m/x x/61.55m/x/x/, informed the DeporCuba page about the 43-year-old competitor.

The news portal added that "her double title, because she also won the discus throw with 29.50 m, contributed to her team's crowning as champion among women with 139 points, surpassing Skënderbeu who scored 130 and Partizan with 72.5".

The news took both insiders and outsiders of the discipline by surprise, as the three-time world hammer throw champion (Edmonton 2001, Paris 2003, and Helsinki 2005) had been away from the scene for a decade, and her most recent involvement in sports was as the head of athletics on the island.

A position he held for several years (2018-2022) filled with controversies; even his departure left a sea of doubts due to his version and what was exposed by the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (INDER).

The entity announced on the official JIT website "the release of Yipsi Moreno from her responsibilities as national athletics commissioner" in response to the ex-athlete's "personal will." At the same time, the Beijing 2008 champion and silver medalist in Athens 2004 told CiberCuba exclusively, "I found out about my replacement through television."

During the dialogue, he clarified that he had requested his release from the position, but they asked him to continue in it until the Central American Games to be held in El Salvador in 2023.

And it turns out that I find out about my replacement on television, surprisingly, when before they had not accepted my resignation. Tell me", declared the woman known as the "Fury of Agramonte" to the journalist Julia Osendi.

Member of the State Council and deputy to the National Assembly of People's Power before moving to Europe, Moreno received numerous criticisms and questioning for allegedly developing a network of privileges to benefit athletes close to her, while harassing others who ended up dropping out of athletics or emigrating, as reported by 14ymedio newspaper.

In the past month of April, the legendary hammer thrower had already shown signs of her presence in the Old Continent with her family, after posting several pictures on Facebook.

Regarding his current situation, it was also revealed that the Albanian Athletics Federation expects him to join the national team very soon, although the main reason for his presence in the territory is sports education.
