ANA PELETEIRO: HER AGE, HER CURRENT PARTNER AND HER CONTROVERSY WITH VOX
He was born in 1995 in the town of Riveira in A Coruña. She is the biological daughter of a Galician and an African who gave adoption and whom she has never met, so her real family is the one that welcomed her since she was little in the town.
Although she started in other disciplines such as ballet and artistic gymnastics, it was not until she tried athletics that she found her place. Her successes were not long in coming, since in 2012 she managed to win the world junior triple jump with the best European record of all time.
Ana Peleteiro’s life changed completely in 2013, when she moved to Madrid to enter the High Performance Center for athletes. Later she would arrive at her signing for FC Barcelona, in her athletics section.
Although he had already achieved great achievements, such as the Princess of Asturias Award for best young athlete, it was not until 2018 that his career fully exploded.
From that moment on, he won awards such as the bronze medal at the 2018 Birmingham World Cup and bronze at the European open-air event in Berlin. In addition, she would manage to be a champion of Spain with a record for our country.
HIS PARTICIPATION IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Before triumphing at Tokyo 2020, and winning the bronze medal, his relationship with the games was one of love and hate. He did not go to London 2012 despite having the Olympic minimum, since he got it when the team was already closed. And in Rio 2016 he couldn’t get it, something logical due to his youth.
YOUR CURRENT PARTNER
Ana Peleteiro was dating Nelson Évora, a training partner in Guadalajara. That relationship ended after five years and she admits that, thanks to him, she managed to change her mentality when it came to big dates. She was also related to her partner Ray Zapata, although they never confirmed that relationship and they claim to be very good friends.
In 2022, she has just announced her pregnancy with her partner, the French athlete Benjamin Compaoré. «I fell in love with you many years ago, but life decided that it was not our time. 5 years later, I did it again, but this time in a completely different way, “he explained about his relationship on social networks.
HIS CONTROVERSY WITH VOX
In 2021, after the Olympic success with his friend Ray Zapata, he had a run-in with a Vox deputy over an unfortunate message on social networks. “Zapata and Peleteiro are an example of the emigration that Spain needs. And an example for all of us,” said politician Juan Luis Steegmann.
The problem is that Ana Peleteiro, as we have told at the beginning of this article, is Galician by birth. Although she does not know her biological parents, she has always lived in Spain and her Galician accent confirms this in every interview.
