DEDICATING HER VICTORY
She qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo by winning the Pan American qualification tournament in San Jose, Costa Rica. During the event she wore a black armband to honour one of her former coaches, Ivan Huapaya, who passed away in March 2021. She also dedicated the victory to the memory of her grandfather Luis Calderon Valle, who was the first person to introduce her to fencing. "He was with me in my early training until his last days. He was proud of all my triumphs. Now he accompanies me from the other side." (elperuano.pe, 04 May 2021; insidethegames.biz, 03 May 2021)
