This week, the famous set of “El Hormiguero” received a very special guest: Ana Peleteiro. The Galician athlete, whose eyes are on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after her remarkable performance at the Glasgow World Cups last March, was the protagonist of a revealing conversation with Pablo Motos.
During the talk, Peleteiro shared the challenges she faced when returning to the slopes after motherhood. “These were not easy weeks, before and after giving birth”, he admitted. Even He feared missing the Olympic Games due to the time it takes to return to training after giving birth. “The key worked hard last year,” Peleteiro explained. “2023 has been extremely difficult both physically and mentally. This year we are seeing the results of those efforts. “Often, I went to training without having slept an hour.”.
The athlete admitted that there were times when she doubted whether to return professionally to her discipline. “I saw my body completely transformed and thought I would never jump again,” he revealed. “The worst pain was during postpartum, because of a cesarean scar“Determined to return to her highest level, Peleteiro began her recovery process as soon as 28 days after deliveryand two and a half months later she was already training with her team, although exhausted but in good health.
Criticism, out of reach
Determined to put the criticism behind him, Peleteiro said: “They have criticized me since I was little, but I always comply. There is no need to judge others, everyone must live their life. Now “I don’t waste time on people who talk bad about me.”.
Go for gold in Paris
Looking ahead, Peleteiro expressed confidence in his chances in Paris, hoping to land another metal for his impressive professional career. “I train every day to become an Olympic champion and I want to be,” she said. “There are many factors to consider, but I feel ready to make this happen.”
He also expressed support for colleague Yulimar Rojas, who suffered an injury that ruled her out of this summer’s Games. “I feel sorry for Yulimar,” Peleteiro commented. “My team and I believe that “We are ready to take advantage of this opportunity.”.
