Od hitne pomoći do ulaska u istoriju Olimpijskih igara: Neverovatna priča jedne doktorke
Regina Martinez započela je bavljenje skijaškim trčanjem kao svojevrsni lek protiv surovih zima tokom studija medicine u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Nekoliko godina kasnije, taj sport odveo ju je pravo na Zimske olimpijske igre Milano–Kortina 2026, gde će postati prva Meksikanka koja će se takmičiti u ovoj disciplini.
TL;DR
- Regina Martinez will be the first Mexican woman to compete in cross-country skiing at the Winter Olympics.
- She started the sport as a coping mechanism during her medical studies in the US.
- Martinez found cross-country skiing offered a physical and mental challenge, as well as an escape from solitude and harsh winters.
- Mexico has had few representatives in Olympic cross-country skiing, with Roberto Alvarez and German Madraz preceding Martinez.
