Rojas is the world record holder both outdoor and indoor and won
gold in the Tokyo Olympics in August with a record leap of 15.67
metres.
The charismatic 26-year-old told Reuters she will defend her
indoor and outdoor world titles in 2021, as well as compete in
events in South and Central America.
She also hopes to defend the Diamond League trophy she won in
Zurich last September.
"I should be in optimal conditions to defend my title," said
Rojas, who is famous for her colourful dyed hair and a massive
star in her homeland, where she is known as La Reina or The
Queen. "I have already visualised it.
"I ask all those people who see me, who follow me, who see
themselves reflected in me and who identify with what I say...
to fight for their dreams, to never give up, and to not set
limits for anything because limits exist only in the head," she
told Reuters.
