VOICED: Un sueno en las alturas

Bolivia, known for its mountains and football-loving president, has never won an Olympic medal. Claudia Valderrama, a 29-year-old psychologist, aims to change this by competing in the 20 km race walk. Despite her best time being 10 minutes slower than the world record, she remains hopeful. Claudia emphasizes the need to overcome a defeatist mindset and believes in her potential to compete with the best. She trains at high altitude with coach Raúl González, which enhances her physiological capacity. This training could give her a 10-12% performance boost at sea level. Claudia is determined to win Bolivia's first Olympic medal in London.
