The Venezuelan Yulimar Rojas, world and Olympic triple jump champion, announced her return to elite athletics competitions in Spain, at the City of Salamanca Athletics Trophy, which will take place on the Carlos Gil Pérez indoor court, on March 9.

The Venezuelan woman was out of the international scene for a little more than ten months due to an injury to her left Achilles tendon, which led her to undergo surgery and complete an extensive period of recovery that even relegated her from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

His press team reported that, instead of the traditional triple jump, where he has achieved the greatest achievements of his sports career, his return in 2025, after the long break, will be in the long jump.

The last time the queen met in a competition in this modality was in 2023, during a Diamond League stop and where she scored 6.61 meters as her best momentum.

However, it has the best record for life in the 7.27 meter race recorded in La Nucia (Spain) during the Spanish Club Championship, in 2021.
