Biografia

Known in her native Venezuela as "La Reina Del Triple Salto" - the queen of the triple jump - Yulimar Rojas is one of the true superstars of athletics.

The world record holder is a four-time world champion outdoors, a three-time world champ indoors, and an Olympic gold medallist. The three-time Diamond League champion has one more goal to accomplish: jump over 16 metres.

Yulimar Rojas: Early life and breakthrough

Rojas' journey began in Caracas, Venezuela, where she was born into a low-income family of six siblings. Initially drawn to volleyball after being inspired by her national team's performance at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, she ultimately transitioned to track and field athletics.

At only 15, the Venezuelan athlete won high jump gold at the 2011 South American Junior Championships and silver at the Pan American Youth Athletics Championships and the Bolivarian Games. By the age of 19, she had already won the high jump event at the 2014 South American Games and the triple jump and long jump titles at the 2015 South American Athletics Championships.

"If you work with your heart, belief, and love of the sport, nothing is impossible."
