When it comes to sports, Salvadoran athletes don’t always have the most resources or support, but what they lack in sponsorship, they make up for in heart and dedication. Joaquin tells us about his fencing journey on and off the strip, the challenges he faced as a Salvadoran and the doors he had to knock on to keep his dream alive.
While most of us struggle to get out of bed, Carlos soars and flips through the air straight onto the podium with gold medals and championships. A 14 year old gymnast that only started three years ago shows us what can be accomplished with talent, courage, and a wonderfully supportive mother. So wear that Salvi flag as a cape, get a running start, and stick the landing with Carlos and his mother Erica.
