“Being influential or participating in Exathlon is to have financial supports“: Paulina Martinez, judoka

Fat woman. Sow. crazy old lady Damn. Faker. Endless adjectives were used by netizens to criticize and disqualify him for appearing on the reality show Exatlón, from Televisión Azteca. It can be said that it was the kind side of the number of expletives that her haters and trolls issued to denigrate Paulina Martínez for different reasons. Whether it was because they don’t like her or they don’t agree with her ideas, the expressions of hate went beyond the limit of what is an opinion to turn it into indiscriminate offenses.

The irony is that those same detractors pay her supposed admiration on her social networks when she shares an image in a swimsuit or some outfit that shows off her figure. And it is “supposed” because they also resort to aggression to fall into manifestations of a sexual nature that are far from being attention. In fact, they have no idea that she is a judoka, a high performance athlete.

Today Paulina handles these situations with full awareness that ignoring aggressive demonstrations is the best thing, as long as they are not threats because no one has the right to attack her integrity. But it has not been an easy process. On the contrary, like any other human being, he has been hurt.

“People who criticize you for criticizing, who don’t even know you, can be very hurtful. Of course they have hurt me with a number of insults that have been done to me. It’s really hard to put up with that, especially when you haven’t done anything wrong. No one thinks that I am a woman with feelings, a person who feels”, He stated at the discussion table ‘Advantages and disadvantages of media coverage in sports careers’ held at Deportium 2022.

Possessing a particular rhythm of speech due to oral clarity at high speed, Paulina has overcome the bad moments that have arisen in cyberspace to focus on the pleasant moments she lives as a media athlete. You need that exposure to generate resources in the face of possible eventualities that prevent you from advancing in your sports process in the face of different competitions,mainly Olympic Games, which is his goal.

And it is clear that he wants to be in Paris 2024 yes or yes. For that she trains hard from the physical to the mental. However, most of those who are attentive to what he does or does not do are unaware of the effort he puts into behind the videos and photos he posts on social networks. Nor do they reflect the logical and valid concerns that every athlete faces when considering Olympic significance. For example, camps and training.

To generate resources that allow us to approach these world-class camps and training sessions, in order to be on par with the best on the planet, they imply an expense that federations, family and income of the athlete cannot always cover. For this reason, the judoka has found a financial alternative in the media coverage of her figure and sports career.

“Yes, people are very right to question why we stopped training to participate in a reality show, or why we stopped having the right body composition to compete. Nevertheless, for us it is important to participate in this type of programs and thus have an economic support for when the supports do not exist, It is so that we can sustain ourselves. We do it for that.” comments to Bolavip Mexico.

Convinced that she wants to see herself in an Olympic event and get on the podium, Paulina has a work plan that demands a spirit of resistance, improvement and endurance: “I love the process even though it is complicated. I train Monday, Wednesday and Friday for three sessions. Tuesday and Thursday I do a double combat session. On Sundays I also have to train, sometimes I don’t rest. In judo it is difficult to obtain the classification, there are very good competitors, that is why I prepare myself rigorously”.

Without holding a grudge against her critics and with great affection for her fans, she puts them in the same bag to motivate herself towards Paris 2024, an edition in which she is visualized present and in which she wants to hang a medal “for everyone”, without I distinguish some, because he considers that Mexico deserves happiness. I want to see my country happy top it off with his dynamic style of speech.
