The La Paz athlete I competed in 20km last year, which meant returning to gear after being out of competition for more than a decade.
In fact, she had represented Bolivia in 2006 and 2008 respectively at the South American Championships in Cochabamba and Cuenca.
This year she has dedicated herself to the longer distance and she combines the activity of a physical education teacher with that of sports by making an effort to train in walking and at the same time to devote herself to teaching.
