What to remember
Belgrade, March 20, 2022: at the World Indoor Championships, Yulimar Rojas landed her triple jump at 15.74 m. The Venezuelan was winning her third world indoor title there, after Portland in 2016 and Birmingham in 2018. Her biography also gives this 15.74 m as the women's triple jump world record.
Born in Caracas and nicknamed "la reina del triple salto", queen of the triple jump, Rojas took Olympic silver in Rio in 2016, then Olympic gold in Tokyo. Outdoors she won world titles in London in 2017, Doha in 2019, Eugene in 2022 and Budapest in 2023.
In 1998, the indoor record stood at 15.16 m, set by Ashia Hansen, and Tatyana Lebedeva held it with 15.36 m in 2004. Over 24 years the mark grew by 3.8%.
