Now we are a role model: Nuria Diosdado

The mariachis were silent… but the cute little sky It was heard for the Mexican Artistic Swimming Team, which yesterday returned to our country after winning two gold medals at the World Cup in Paris.

Although permission for music to be played at the airport was not granted, family members and onlookers sang a cappella the traditional Mexican song that sheltered the return of the golden mermaids.

Less than 24 hours ago we were swimming and knowing that we were able to sing the National Anthem in the Olympic pool gives us a lot of pride. With the new scoring system, if you do a clean routine amazing things can happencommented Nuria Diosdado from Guadalajara.

Going against the grain, without government scholarships, and backed by some sponsors, the team has emerged as the best on the continent and one of the most outstanding internationally.

We were able to beat the current world champions, Spain and the United States who have international medals. We have grown a lot from the Pan American Games to date, mainly in the technical routine that was previously our weakness.he added.

Diosdado, the most experienced of the team, will guide her teammates to their first participation in this modality since Atlanta 1996.

Now we are the benchmark and everyone is going to want to follow the routines that Mexico has, we have become a model to follow.

In Paris, the mermaids did not present the free routine, which they will keep as a precious treasure until the summer date in less than three months.

In this sport you have to hide your cards, not show everything. In the duet Joana (Jiménez) and I are also preparing some surprises that I hope we can present in a month.

In room E3 of the Mexico City International Airport, entire families gathered to welcome the undines. Samantha Rodríguez’s mother came dressed in a typical Jalisco costume and Joana Jiménez’s dog pets, Daysi y You cook.

Millimeter precision to achieve objectives

We still have several things to improve, but the difficulty we manage places us among the best in the world. The competition in Paris helped us a lot to know what to expect at the Gamessaid Jessica Sobrino.

Prior to participating in Paris, the team will participate in the World Cup in Canada and the World Series in Budapest.

Any detail that we leave unchecked can take us down many places, so we must have millimeter precision to achieve our objectives in Paris.shared national coach Adriana Loftus.
