translated from Spanish: Juan Diego García, the golden boy arrived at his home, Sinaloa

In the midst of a great excitement in the multipurpose gym María del Rosario Espinoza, Juan Diego García López arrived in the capital of Sinaloa, who on September 3 won the gold medal at the Tokyo 20202 Paralympic Games. “I’m very happy to be received in this way. I feel sinaloa’s full support. This medal is something I sought for a long time, when I considered it I gave my heart in all my training so that it could be achieved and I think that made the difference. I feel very proud to be fulfilling all the objectives that I propose,” said the native of Costa Rica, Sinaloa. It should be noted that the Sinaloan closed a perfect year by winning the world championship, gold for Pan American and the gold medal in the Paralympics and that he took advantage of the moment to express what was going through his mind at the time of being on the podium.

I had a long time dreaming of the medal and at that moment good moments came to me. The love I put into the sport is reflected and we will continue to focus on putting Sinaloa on high,” explained the 18-year-old.  The Sinaloan was received by family and friends, as well as the ISDE authorities.

With this, Juan Diego will not throw bells on the fly, since he still has more feats in his career. “I have many more things to discover, but what I carry at the moment are feelings that have never filled me before like this. They ask me if it continues and I think to continue, repeat the feat, because it is something that nothing else leaves me and it is nice to see the flag higher in another continent, “he explained to finish, but not before inviting young people to fight for their dreams and like him conquer the competitions in which they participate.  Carlos Verdugo, director of isDE accompanied the medalist.
