Athletes Gonzalo Molina and Carolina Marín make headlines

Argentine BMX rider Gonzalo ‘Chalo’ Molina recently shared anecdotes regarding his early career during an interview. He recalled his initial training sessions with the national team, where he revealed his pre-training diet consisted simply of ‘tea with bread’ or mate cocido, a stark contrast to the strict nutritional regimens expected by technical staff.

Molina, an Olympian who competed in Rio 2016, also discussed his recent performance at the Santa Fe 2026 South American Games. He earned a silver medal in Rafaela, noting that a minor technical error during a jump cost him the momentum needed to secure the gold against a Colombian competitor.

In separate news, Spanish Olympic badminton champion Carolina Marín attended a Shakira concert in Madrid. Marín was part of a group of guests that accompanied the Colombian singer during her ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’ stage entrance, describing the experience on social media as ‘an unforgettable night.’
