Rodríguez took the Guinness World Record from André Ortolf, who ran 100 meters in high heels in 14.02 seconds in 2019.

"The preparation was very exhaustive and specific," Rodríguez told Guinness World Records. "I find it very challenging to be able to run in high heels at high speed.

"In Spain there are races like this, and they have always gone well for me."
