Jose Juan Sanchez [personal], MEX, from 2019

She took up race walking in 2013. (gob.mx, 13 Apr 2021)

She was participating in running training in Mexico City, Mexico, when she met Ignacio Zamudio, a race walking coach and former Olympian, who invited her to try the sport. "Once I practised it, I loved it. It is a sport that suits me very well. It's a technical, endurance and individual sport, where it's you against everybody else. I think that's what I liked the most and why I considered race walking as a complete sport." (enfoquenoticias.com.mx, 07 May 2021; estadodemexico.lajornada.com.mx, 15 Apr 2021; gob.mx, 13 Apr 2021)
