Adelina Torres

2025-01-22 10:46:01 UTC

I admire this athlete because despite not being well known, she is a impressive rider who grew up in a humble family and on an island with few possibilities, but little by little and working she managed to reach a high level and raise her own horses, even after having a car accident that left her left hand disabled.

Mike Tyson

2025-01-22 10:46:48 UTC

The athlete I have chosen is Mike Tyson, he is a boxing player. He is 58 years old. He started boxing at 12, and became a professional boxer at 18. I admire him for the discipline he has. When I was little I always watched his videos and it makes me nostalgic.

Prichard Colón

Prichard Colón was a boxer. I admire him because fighting against Terrel Williams, he hit him on the back of the head. After, Colón was in a coma for 221 days due to a cerebral hemorrhage. But despite that, after much therapy and rehabilitation he has recovered.

Sofía and Mireia.

Boryana Kaleyn

2025-01-22 10:47:51 UTC

I have chosen her because she is a very underrated rhythmic gymnast. Always the shadow of her partner Nikolova, after having participated in the Tokyo Olympics, in the Paris Olympics was the second classified, having surpassed Nikolova who did not even participate in the final.

Miodrag Belodedici

2025-01-22 10:51:04 UTC

Belodedici is a romanian ex-football player that won many titles as a capitan of elite teams like Crvena Zvezda, Steaua de București or Valencia CF, including 2 Champions League, 9 nacional leagues and 6 nacional cups. He is well remembered by the romanians for being part of the Generația de Aur (Golden Generation) and for his activism against the oppressive communist dictatorship of Ceaușescu, receiving many accusations from the government such as being called a traitor, desloyal and anti-patriotic after his exit in 1988.

Kirian Rodríguez

2025-01-22 10:52:00 UTC

Kirian Rodríguez is an Spanish (from the Canary Islands) football player, and I thought he is one of the Spanish athletes who most deserve to name him, since a few years ago he went through cancer, and it was thought that he wouldn’t be able to play football again. But he didn’t stop there, last season he did what he liked the most, playing soccer.

Tayla Walker

2025-01-22 10:52:51 UTC

Tayla Walker is an athlete, she posts gym content on Tiktok and Instagram, she has been my inspiration for 2 years. I think she is a really strong woman, she shows discipline and consistency. I wish I was a little bit like her!

Jessica Jane-Applegate

2025-01-22 10:54:25 UTC

She is a Paralympic swimmer from the UK. I admire her because despite of having a hidden disability like Asperger’s Syndrome and having trouble for entering the Paralympics due to it, she has managed to achieve her goals and win gold two times.

Ferran Torres

2025-01-22 10:54:50 UTC

Ferran Torres is a Spanish Barça player highly criticized in the past and now because he didn't have a good start, he miss so much and people expected a lot from him, Barça had paid so mucho for him so people is angry. With only 23 years old in that moment was very hard for him. He is an example of mentality and improvement, he works hard, so hard, and now he scores much goals . People give him the nickname of the shark, because of his great mentality. He also had help in Valencia after the “ Dana”.

Viktoriia Onopriienko

2025-01-22 10:56:27 UTC

Viktoriia Onopriienko is an Ukrainian rhythmic gymnast. She was incredible before the Russian attack. Then, she and the Ukrainian team couldn’t train in good conditions and her scores started to fall. As she said, she was so worried about her family members and her country that she couldn’t focus on her sport. In 2023, she qualified for the Paris Olympic games, but her trainer decides to take Taisiya Onofrichuk instead because she got better scores.

Edurne Pasaban Lizarribar

2025-01-22 10:57:22 UTC

I have chosen Edurne Pasaban, she is the first Spanish female monuntaineer in the world to have managed to climb 14 eight-thousanders (mountain with a height of more than 8000 meters). That’s why she recieved the Nacional Sports Award, the Adventurer of the Year, and others more. I chose her because I find everything that has to do with mountains quiet interesting.

Gerard Piqué

aliromon — 2025-01-22 10:59:31 UTC

Gerard Piqué is a former football player from Spain. He played as a defender for FC Barcelona. I admire him because he was a great leader on the field and won many trophies with his team. When I was little, I looked up to him a lot. ⚽️

Henry Shefflin

2025-01-22 11:00:49 UTC

He plays hurling and is widely regarded to be one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, with many former players, commentators and fans rating him as the number one player of all time. I admire him because he always worked the hardest in every match he played and gave his everything on the field. Shefflin is one of the most decorated players of all time. During his time with Kilkenny, he won 10 All-ireland Championship titles more than any other player in history.

ALEXX

2025-01-23 17:58:27 UTC

Noh DongHeon (노동헌), better known as ALEXX (알렉스) is a dancer and choreographer associated with 1MILLION studio (one of the most well-known dance studios of all South Korea). I look up to him because I really appreciate his ability to convey feelings in his choreographies while keeping his moves cool and fresh.

Ana Peleteiro

2025-01-23 19:11:44 UTC

Ana Peleteiro is a Spanish athlete, specialized in triple jump. I have chosen her because she is a very competitive person, so thanks to her constancy and perseverance she could participate in the Olympic Games, despite the criticism of other people. Ana Peleteiro can be considered an inspiring person if we want to achieve success.
