Yulimar Rojas was born in Venezuela in 1995. When she was little, she used to play volleyball in her spare time but one day, athletic trainers saw her and (they) proposed she change sports. She won her first gold medal in 2013 for high jump. She also won a silver medal at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. I just saw an interview of her on television and I think that she is an athlete with a lot of vocation.
