Ana Peleteiro: “I’m working on the news, the best jump will come”

If they gave a tribute for being athlete crying louder, maybe he would take him Ana Peleteiro (29 years). It is his way of marking the territory, to say “I’m here”to multiply your trust before the contest, because “It’s part of the show and I love it, I noticed that rivals were tight and I was respected”. Galician Tripler won gold in European Indoor de Appleckorn and re -lost confidence in recent months after starting a New life in his native Galiciaaway from the shelter provided Iván Pedroso In Guadalajara, the Great World Guru of Horizontal Jumps, the Olympic Champions and Universal Plusmark manufacturer and led him to be copper in Tokyo 2020. Peleteiro attends the world Deportivo After passing the podium and excited not before. He did not stop greeting his people in the stands, as he was excited about. This success has a special message.

This is especially excited about this medal

This is a very special success for being a year of many changes and new challenges. If I am excited for the doubts that people have.

What doubts do you mean?

I changed the coach. Now I work with my wife (Benjamin Comoré) and many people do not understand this change. They assume that this is a bad decision. I am human, when people have so much doubt, they make you think about whether you make a good decision or not.

And is this a good decision?

Of course, here I am with a new gold medal hanging around the neck.

What do you think Iván Pedroso, the former coach, would think if he was reading this interview?

Everything he says is to take it well because we think both. Just a few minutes ago we were chatting and we hugged each other. I really like them to see us together in public. We keep an incredible relationship and what we said at the time of separation is one hundred percent sincerely. There are relationships to break and what they show are a posture to look good. Our truth is that the decision is made from the heart and sincerely. We were both very happy with the decision taken.

Do you cost to make that decision?

Life itself has led me to make changes. When you have a daughter and a family, you need to find what makes you happy. At a professional level, I also need a change. We have been together for many years and, in the end, monotony also affects the athlete. Like a player changes teams when he’s in another for 10 years because he needs new winds, because of athletes too. That doesn’t mean Ivan is a bad coach or Benjamin is better. Ivan was the best only for Ana of 2016, which is what I need at that time and now all I need is something else. Everything I learned from Ivan, I took it to my backpack and many times I pulled it out to remind me.

And how is your life today?

My life in Galicia is wonderful. Everyone tells me that because I am there I bring a lot of peace and tranquility. Occasionally I go to Madrid to work, but I have my team there and manage everything. In Galicia I intended me to train what was put on the way. Now we are launching a cafeteria. I’m not -stop, but from a calm and more protected perspective.

How do you feel when you live again in Galicia?

The sport itself is sacrificed, but the closeness of the family makes everything easier. Being in Galicia allows me to be more present and not miss a lot of things with friends. For me, that’s what I won, without a doubt. Then, of course, I have the support of grandparents whenever I need it with Lúa (his daughter), so I am almost the most important and very grateful.

Does this mean that the time he dedicates to his social life has increased a lot?

Yes, but I’m always responsible. Last weekend, for example, I was able to celebrate the carnival in Galicia again after 10 years without going. I took the opportunity to eat with family and friends. Obviously, I only made a meal plan, because I had to be home as soon as possible to rest as much as possible for this European. But I can be there and I haven’t missed it like recent years.

Do you still have motivation to improve?

Of course. I work new things, the best of Petereiro’s jump is about to come, you can be sure.

What new things work?

In Benjamin we work hard the issue of strengthening in general, especially the small muscles and weak points I have. That is, now, I’m a better athlete than ever before and it will accompany great results. I trust a lot in the process.

And what will be your most objective goal?

I wanted to go to the Internal World Cup in Nanjing (March 19-21) and did a good result. Then there will be time to think about tag -heat.

Are you planning competitions without maintaining this year’s Tokyo World Cup?

This year the World Cup is falling late and that will force me to change the planning. The winter season will not serve as preseason, both championships are very separate. I need to lower the rhythm to start a new preparation. It will be like a new season. After Nanjing we will take some weekly active break and then start. We will go to concentration and start.

I see you very motivation, does this mean you plan to complete this Olympic cycle?

Of course I am in Los Angeles 2028 if God allows me and I respect health, but I do not want to think about it now. In my final experience with games I have no great love for that competition.
