With the determination of a champion and the heart of a warrior, Mariana Pajón seeks to add another golden page to her already legendary sporting career at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
With two Olympic gold medals in her résumé, achieved in London 2012 and Rio 2016, in addition to a silver medal in Tokyo 2020, Pajón is a true living legend of Colombian and world sports.
At 32 years old, she has once again demonstrated her ability to overcome challenges and remain at the elite level of BMX. Despite injuries, her spirit, effort, and innate talent have led her to qualify for her fourth Olympic Games.
In statements to the media, Pajón has expressed her enthusiasm and commitment to Paris 2024: “Every time I get on the bike, I do it with my heart and with the dream of raising the name of Colombia high. These Olympic Games are a new opportunity to show that limits only exist in the mind.”
Pajón is the first woman from her country (Colombia) to have won two Olympic gold medals, and she will give her best at the BMX Stadium in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines on August 1st and 2nd.
Leaving a mark.
With multiple world titles and medals in Pan American and Bolivarian Games that have made her shine at the highest level, Mariana is an example of perseverance and excellence. Her impressive sports career filled with commitment and efforts has turned her into a source of inspiration for thousands of young people.
In addition to being a promoter of women’s sports and BMX, Pajón has also worked tirelessly through her foundation to support young cyclists and promote inclusion and gender equality in sports.
The Colombian started competing in BMX at the age of four, and by nine, she was already a world champion. That’s why she clearly understands the importance of promoting sports and fostering the comprehensive development of youth.
