Kimberly García, current champion of the World Athletics Championships, is among the top five finalists for Female Athlete of the Year and could be the first, although we will only find out in December, but the joy is not complete because there are promises from the authorities that have not been fulfilled.
"The truth is that I wasn't paying attention to the results. I only found out yesterday (Monday) that I was among the top five athletes. I am very happy because I see that, in some way, I am making history in Peruvian sports and it was something I dreamed of since I was little," said Kimberly García on RPP Noticias' show Encendidos.
Kimberly García, 29 years old, said that she has a great goal which is to win a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. "When I watch the videos of the World Athletics Championships, I feel a bit nostalgic. I can't believe what I have achieved. I had dreamed of it since I was very young and making it come true makes me feel very proud, but there's still a higher goal to achieve, the Olympic Games, and we are working towards that."
