Athlete Alexandra Grande, from the Vamos con Tokio Program of the Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD), achieved her qualification for the Olympic Games in the discipline of karate.
The World Karate Federation (WKF) confirmed the presence of the Peruvian by continental representation, due to her place in the international ranking and the gold medal she got in Lima 2019.
“It has been five years of hard work together with my coach Roberto Reyna. We’ve been through a lot, but we never allow ourselves to be diverted from our heads. We knew it was going to be tough. I can’t believe it so far, I just know that I’m excited, ”Grande wrote on her social networks.
