Ronal Longa (born 30 June 2004) is a Colombian track and field athlete who competes as a sprinter. He is the Colombian U20 and U23 national record holder over 100 metres.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Longa became only the fifth junior athlete to break the 10-second barrier for the 100 metres, and set a new national senior record time of 9.99 seconds to win the bronze medal at the South American Athletics Championships, in São Paulo in July 2023.[2][3][4]

Longa competed at the 2023 World Athletics Championships but suffered an injury in the 100 metres and did not qualify from his heat.[5]

He competed in the 100 metres at the 2024 Paris Olympics.[6]

In September 2025, he was a semi-finalist in the 100 metres at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan.[7]

Selected for the inaugural Pan American Championships in Medellín, he won the 100 metres final, running a new personal best of 9.85 seconds on 26 June, finishing ahead of Canadian Eliezer Adjibi and Eloy Benitez of Puerto Rico.[8]
