From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Margarida "Maggy" Moreno Sánchez[a] (born 3 April 1968) is an Andorran track and field athlete who competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1]
Moreno's first major competition was the 1991 IAAF World Indoor Championships where she competed in the high jump. Her jump of 1.75 metres (5 feet 9 inches) placed her in 26th place during the qualification stage and so she didn't qualify for the final.[2] Later in the year she also competed in the high jump at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo, she only managed to jump 1.70 metres (5 feet 7 inches) and again failed to reach the final.[3]
The following year Moreno was picked for the 1992 Summer Olympics, she was also chosen to be her country's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[4] In the high jump she jumped 1.70 metres (5 feet 7 inches) and finished 41st so didn't qualify for the final.[5]
Her personal bests in the event are 1.83 metres outdoors (Monzón 1991) and 1.81 metres indoors (San Sebastián 1990). Both are standing national records.
