Career

Born in Caibarién, Villa Clara Province,[1] she took part in track and field as a teenager and at the age of eighteen she cleared fifty metres in the javelin for the first time, setting a personal best mark of 52.10 m,[2] and became the Cuban junior champion.[3] Her family have all been involved in sports, her father as a boxer and her mother as a long jumper. Her uncle, Ricardo Ponce, is a triple jump coach for the Cuban national team.[4] In 2009, she had a succession of personal bests including 56.91 m for fourth at the 2009 ALBA Games and 57.21 m at a meeting in Havana.[2][5]

Caballero came third at both the Barrientos Memorial and Olimpiada del Deporte Cubano in Havana in 2010 (improving her best mark to 59.30 then 59.92 m).[6] Havana was again the venue for her first throw over sixty metres in 2011, as she had a mark of 60.50 m then won the Barrientos meet a week later with a best of 62.94 m.[7] This earned her a spot at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics and she reached the final round, finishing ninth with a mark of 60.73 m.[2] She had much success regionally that year, winning the gold medal at the 2011 Central American and Caribbean Championships in Athletics,[8] as well as a bronze medal at the 2011 Pan American Games (an event won by fellow Cuban Yarelys Barrios).[9][10]

A throw of 65.60 m in March 2012 lifted her to fourth in the world rankings and she was later chosen to perform in the discus alongside Barrios in 2012 Cuban Olympic squad.[11][12]

At the 2013 World Championships, she finished 8th.[4] She won the gold medal at the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games with a new games record.[4][13] The record had been set in 1982 by fellow Cuban Maria Betancourt.[13]

In 2015, as well as setting a new personal best, she won the Pan American Games, and produced a shock upset, beating pre-competition favourite Sandra Perkovic to win the World Championship.[4][14][15] Caballero was the first Cuban discus thrower to win the World title.[4]

She won the bronze medal at the women's discus throw event at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[16]
