“All of my medals are worthy, but Birmingham has a special meaning. It is the example of my sacrifices. It was an odyssey to get there. We were stranded, moving from subways and taxis everywhere because our flights were cancelled due to a snowstorm. I didn’t even have my suitcases, but when you have an objective or clear goal in your life, you will truly become a winner.” Rojas said.
Each effort, every impulse, every step has brought her closer to becoming one of the strongest candidates to win the gold medal at the upcoming 2021 Olympic Games. And thus, completing the goal that has motivated her continuously to keep training.
“The Olympic gold is waiting for me,” she mentioned.
Not only is she one of the best athletes in Venezuela as well as the world, now Rojas has become an inspiration for all.
She seeks to inspire others to recognize that they are the champions of their own lives. Her message focuses on motivating the community to fight and work for their dreams because it really is possible to achieve them!

Rojas is the only Latina who has set this record. Previously, it was Tatyana Lebedev of Russia and Ashia Hansen of Great Britain, marked at 15.36 in 2004 and 15.16 meters in 1998, respectively.
The discipline and determination she exhibits led her to achieve incredible honors, but she never imagined that she’d become an official Guinness World Records title holder.
“It’s an honor for me, I’m very grateful to be a part of history for Guinness World Records! Do you know what this means? It’s immense! It’s another achievement for my coach, my work team, my family, and I. This is another window that opens to continue motivating others to achieve whatever they want. I still cannot believe it!”
