After 20 years, Isabella Rojas has returned Cuba to the medal podium in rhythmic gymnastics at the Central American and Caribbean Games.

She earned a bronze medal in the individual all-around event, bridging a long-standing gap to match the performance of Lisandra Pérez, who achieved the same result at the Cartagena 2006 Games.

"On this occasion, we arrived stronger than ever, demonstrating that despite the adversity and the extreme complexity of this sport, we are capable of achieving significant results," stated Yainet Villalta, national commissioner, on her social media platforms.

"This is a commendable and beautiful performance by Isabella," Villalta said, adding that it was a competition that will remain in the hearts of the rhythmic gymnastics community.
