Paula Pareto started to chat with Olé for her 25 years. He recounted his beginnings, reviewed how he put together his career, family concern about hitting, the Olympics and more. And he also left several pearls.
JUDO’S MACHIST ROW
“They sold a T-shirt, incredible. When I went to national tournaments as a girl, the boys would wear one that said: “Girls do hockey, boys do rugby, men do judo.” I was very funny, it seemed like anyone. But it was the shirt that everyone had. Many friends today have it and I tell them: ‘Che, that shirt is anything’. They have even told me that “you can’t train here because this is a men’s training camp.” But I had friends and colleagues who helped me and spoke for me. The one who said that was shut up in two seconds. “Shut up, I got out of here.” To train”.
YOU IN SOS PAULA PARETO…
“Do you know when they recognize me? When I speak. From the voice, I can’t believe it. You can see that I have a very particular voice, not to say whistle, heh. Once a lady told me: ‘You are very similar to the girl who does judo’. Yes, it’s me, I tell him. ‘No, it can not be”. A doctor friend made him see the medical gown with my name on it. But the lady insisted: “Oh, it’s the same name on top, but it can’t be. Because apart from that, she’s a doctor? She’s similar but you’re not.”
Laughing, Pareto confesses that he no longer followed the talk. “She left convinced that I was not Paula Pareto. What was she? A clone?”
ROUTINES TO THE LIMIT DURING ISOLATION
Walk with your arms on a table, do push-ups in height leaning on two chairs, hang yourself … EIt is difficult to describe all the routines – not to mention “crazy” – that Pareto was putting together during the times of rigorous isolation in 2020.
Her videos on social media tore her up. Of course, more than one wanted to imitate her and it didn’t go so well … “Yes, someone told me that he hit himself, ha. I broke my nose too! But I kept trying even if it put my head, my teeth, my nose at risk, as more than one told me. But the idea was to improve myself in the day to day to pass the quarantine in a more pleasant way. I only went out to go to the hospital and at home I wanted to have something different to do. If it served for people to try, welcome. “
LORENA BRICEÑO, HER LESS KNOWN IDOL
He admires many athletes, national references of all kinds, but when choosing an idol, Pareto always names the judoka Lorena Briceño. Why
La Peque explains: “She is a reference for me and for many of the judo girls. Because she made a lot of effort and had many complications to qualify for the Games. They put a thousand obstacles in the way and not because he lacked technique or tactics, but because of political issues. And she went to Beijing and I had the chance to go with her. He taught me to fight her and fight her. “
