"Since I was a little girl, I have practised athletics and swimming, but I came upon triathlon by chance. When I was 19 years old, Paola Bonilla was going to compete at a national event, but at the last minute the organisers said the female event would only be allowed with more than two women entering. Since I swam and trained in athletics, I was invited to compete, and had a bicycle loaned to me. I accepted to help a friend. When the competition finished, I knew triathlon was going to be the sport I would do for the rest of my life." (ecuador.unir.net, 31 Aug 2020)
