Sandra Lorena Arenas, fourth in the race
Colombian Sandra Lorena Arenas was on the verge of repeating the Olympic podium in the 20-kilometer walk, finishing in fourth place in Paris 2024, two places below the second position she achieved in Tokyo 2020, but she did so with a new national record.
Arenas was once again in the group of those seeking victory behind China’s Jiayu Yang, whose breakaway was rewarded with victory, but she was unable to keep up with Spain’s MarÃa Pérez when she changed pace and decided the other two places on the podium.
Still, the Colombian never gave up and fought as hard as she could to try not to get left behind by the Australian Jemina Montag, whom she was ultimately unable to overtake.
With her fourth place, the Colombian achieved an Olympic diploma, the second for the delegation in Paris 2024.
