Almost a year ago, Ana Peleteiro make history by becoming an olympic medalist in the Tokyo Games, where he got the triple jump bronzeafter winning a silver medal at the 2021 World Indoor Championships.
After achieving his greatest athletic success, the Galician athlete now faces a new stage of life. In an emotional video that went viral, Peleteiro announced in early June that will be mother with his partner, the athlete Benjamin Compaore.
It was always clear to her that she wanted to be a mother. “I want to be a mother after the Tokyo Games“, he went on to tell his teammates, as he told Mundo Deportivo. Peleteiro faces maternity with intense enthusiasm, although he also clarified in this newspaper that he remained focused on her athletic careers.
Q. Congratulations both for last year’s sporting achievements and for the pregnancy you announced at the beginning of the month on your social networks.
A. Thank you very much.
Q. You continue to practice, although adapting to your new situation. How do you deal with this stage?
A. At first I was a little shocked because I didn’t know how to manage it. But I immediately found super good professionals, in this case I put myself in the hands of the Crys Dyaz team. I wanted to work with a trustworthy person, related to high level sports, because before he was a high level athlete, and a professional in training during pregnancy.
From the first day we connected and I was very happy with the results and the training sessions, because it was weird, I will end the pregnancy by improving many things that maybe in my day to day as an athlete I don’t have much time to work out because I have to do things more specifically in the triple jump.

Q. So you don’t see it as a break in your athletic career but as an opportunity to continue learning in a different way.
A. Of course. Ever since I got pregnant I haven’t stopped studying. Previously, for example, I worked on everything bodybuilding -related with apnea, and now with Crys I have learned to work on breathing, which greatly helps the pelvic floor. Ultimately, in addition to working on the points I don’t have time to work on when I’m training one hundred percent, I’m learning new things that I can apply to athletics.
in a pregnancy you can’t carry the same intensitybut you can adapt many things. It all depends on the desire and how you want to deal with this stage. I treat it as something temporary and I want to go back in my best version on the slopes. I take it easy because I also want to enjoy, but I am very motivated. By not being overweight, having a healthy pregnancy and when the baby is born, that’s doable get back on track ASAP.
OLYMPIC GAMES
“Paris still stands one hundred percent”
P. Paris 2024, therefore, is it still standing?
A. Yes. Paris one hundred percent. But my objective is a bit difficult but I like challenges next year at the 2023 World Cup. That was my main goal, I didn’t know how to jump 15 meters, but to get back to my scores and enjoy the competition.
Q. You are 26 years old. Have you noticed the social pressure not only for being a mother as an elite athlete, but for being a young athlete?
A. No. I think social harassment exists when the person is not independent and people may think they are not ready to be a mother. Not because she doesn’t know how to be a mother, but because maybe has no economic position to face motherhood. In my case, I have been independent since I was 16 years old. I already have homes, companies and jobs in the world of sports. And my partner three quarters of the same.
Now maternity hospitals are falling apart, but not because people aren’t ready to be mothers or fathers, but because their jobs don’t allow it and it’s not the time. Thank God I do I could decide whenand more after winning an Olympic medal and knowing that all my sponsors and brands I work for support me.
Q. Did you know before that you want to be a mother?
R. I always make it clear. Obviously it’s not just up to you to be a mother, you need the right person by your side, but I’m not afraid to be a mother and This is a wish I have had for many years.. You can ask the people I was with when I was in Blume [centro de alto rendimiento]. He always says: ‘I want to be a mother after the Tokyo Games‘. This has been very clear to me for many years. And the truth is I was very lucky and everything went well.
R. You have been training with Ivan Pedroso for a long time and Yulimar Rojas is with you. In other interviews you discussed how starting training with him was before and after.
R. Yes. The reality of going to Guadalajara was marked before and after by my way of looking at athletics and my professionalism. I went from being a girl who did athletics because she liked to focus one hundred percent and see it as my job. Everything went well but because I was at the right time with the right people.
Q. How would you evaluate the moment that Spanish athletes go through?
R. Athletics in general go through a very good moment. People are starting to pay attention and have an interest in this sport and this is because there is sources. I also think that in the Olympic Games, even without the public, the fact that the social networks being present has greatly helped in reaching out to society and it shows a lot.

ABOUT YOUR OTHER PROJECT
“All it means to see myself done out of the way is to make me feel better, I see that I’m just not good at jumping”
Q. You are recording in your hometown, Ribeira, some content in La Gula del Norte and you have to cook. Is this another of your talents?
A. Yes, we will tour my town to show you the places that most remind me of my childhood, because after all, when I was little, eels were a dish that was a part of my dinners, especially in all the time. training. And I will make my dad’s star dish, which is eels with octopus. I love to cook for people, it’s a talent that they don’t know much I have but those who live with me know..
Q. Last year you participated in the first season of ‘El Desafío’ on Antena 3. Do you see yourself in the future with ‘MasterChef Celebrity’?
A. I don’t know. I see myself in the world of communication in general, but I can’t tell you if I see myself in ‘MasterChef’ because it’s a program that requires a lot of dedication and now I have no time.
Q. Last question. You made a cameo in Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘Parallel Mothers’. Are you thinking about acting in the future?
R. Yes. I think it goes hand in hand with communication. Sa TV you need too make a small theater and it’s something I’ve been good at since I was little and that I enjoy. and whatever seeing myself perform off the running track I feel relieved because I can see that I’m just not good at jumping.
now, being a mother also makes me feel happy Because even though I’m not a mother yet, I’m preparing for it and I think that this will motivate me even more to feel good on the track.
