“This is the biggest moment of my sporting life
and it’s hard to explain it. I just suffered from start to

told Eurosport.
While Carapaz crossed the finish line in front of
fans from his homeland at the Roman amphitheater,
he began his success on the mountain slopes. He has

City in 1907. She painted many self-portraits and paintings of
Mexican folklore. Frida went to the prestigious Escuela Preparatoria
in Mexico City in 1922. At that time, there were not many girls
at this school. In 1925, at the age of eighteen, Frida had a terrible traffic
accident. She couldn’t walk for a long time, so she started to paint.
In 1929, she married the painter Diego Rivera. The next year, they
moved to New York, but Frida was not happy there. They returned
to Mexico in 1935. Frida won a national art prize in 1946, and she
became famous in Mexico. She died in 1954, when she was only
47 years old.
Eight days before her death in July 1954, Frida Kahlo completed
