Today, starting at 3:00 a.m. Peruvian time, our 20k walker, Evelyn Carla Inga Huaynalaya, ran. The Huancaína finished in eighth place, even surpassing our laureates Kimberly García and Mary Luz Andía. Among those who showed their support at the top of their lungs were her parents, Francisco Inga and Carmen Huaynalaya.

“I have the flu, but that didn’t stop me from cheering on my daughter, who is a source of pride for us just by having qualified for an Olympics. She has developed through hard work.”said Francisco Inga.
“I prepare her guinea pig broth with quinoa, with morón, I just contacted her (before the competition) and she told me “mommy I miss my tripe” “We will prepare when you return, I told him,” said Carmen Huaynalaya with a big smile. “When Evelyn arrives from the Huancayo road, we will receive her, we will organize ourselves to receive her,” he added.
Our young champion in running still has a long way to go and continues to prepare for competitions as demanding as an Olympics or World Athletics Championships, always taking Kimberly García as an example. In this last Olympics in Paris 2024, she made history by being among the 8 best in the world.
