Her international debut came in 2003, representing Cuba at the Pan American Games in Venezuela. This marked the beginning of her career on the global stage.

Achievements and Challenges

She was named Cuban Athlete of the Year in both 2007 and 2010. However, her career faced a setback in September 2011 when she suffered a rupture of the right bicep. This injury caused her to miss the 2011 Pan American Games.

Transition to Triple Jump

In 2005, she joined the Cuban national team on their European tour. Due to a shortage of long jump competitions, her coach suggested she try triple jump again. Her early results were promising, leading her to compete in both events.

Realising a Dream

She achieved a significant milestone in 2007 by jumping over 15 metres. She leapt to 15.09m at a meeting in Alcala, Spain, realising a long-held dream.

Personal Interests

Outside of athletics, she enjoys watching movies or soap operas and listening to reggae, hip-hop, and classical music.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, she aims to win gold at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. This ambition reflects her dedication and commitment to excelling in her sport.

Her journey from discovering her talent to achieving international success showcases her resilience and determination. Despite facing injuries and challenges, she continues to strive for excellence in athletics.
