Ana Peleteiro is one of the most outstanding Spanish athletes of recent years. The Galician triple jumper returned to the slopes in style last March, during the indoor athletics world championships held in Glasgow. With a mark of 14 meters and 75 centimeters, she not only won the bronze medal but she also obtained the minimum mark for the Paris Olympic Games, where she is one of her favorites.
A few months before the long-awaited sporting event takes place, the athlete stopped by El Hormiguero with Pablo Motos to review her latest movements. In addition to ensuring that she would return from the French capital with a medal around her neck, Peleteiro also recalled the birth of her son Lúa, for which he made a temporary break in her sports career. Regarding this fact, she told a striking anecdote related to her partner.
The birth and decisive contractions took place on December 18, 2022, coinciding with the final of the men’s soccer world cup in Qatar. The native of Ribeira narrated how the match between Argentina and France was a pleasant distraction in the midst of the pain she felt, especially thanks to the reactions of her partner: Benjamin Compaoré, a French triple jumper who competed in London 2012 and Rio 2016.
Pablo Motos shared an entertaining video of a hospital scene, while Peleteiro was suffering contractions and the Bar-le-Duc athlete was focused on the game. The jumper jokingly confessed that her husband was more focused on Kilian Mbappé, who in the images of the duel tied 3-3 from the penalty spot. Compaoré celebrated effusively but kept the volume low because of his surroundings.
In another vein, the Galician also reviewed with those present on the set her condition on the way to the Olympic Games: “Honestly, I am surprised by the state of fitness I am in, although it is also dangerous because you are more exposed to any setback. , but I have a great team and I am very good at achieving a goal. I focus a lot and I know that we are doing very well, I think people are going to be surprised.”
“I train every day to be an Olympic champion. Then many things can happen, but I train every day for it. I have to say it and I’m not afraid to say it. “If you fail, it will never be a failure if you have fought and tried until the end,” he insisted, before having a memory for his rival and partner on the court, the Venezuelan Yulimar Rojas, who days before was seriously injured and will be lost. the Parisian date.
