She took up athletics at age 11. (americateve.com, 22 Aug 2015)

"When I was small, I practised everything - taekwondo, gymnastics, even soccer, but I wasn't very flexible. Then one day, a teacher saw me and recruited me to athletics." (en.granma.cu, 02 Apr 2018)

HURDLE
Of all the events in the heptathlon, she finds the 100m hurdles the most difficult due to a nasty fall she had at age 13. "Despite the time that has passed, I will never lose the fear of falling. But once you overcome that first hurdle you are gaining confidence, speed and power." (americateve.com, 22 Aug 2015)
