we can make the different w call, the world unpack pulse out of your info is in all the input. you need v w story. now, on to the, in the middle part from the very 1st step i take on the diving board again because i still us a few of those by supplies of my bedding. dolores hernandez is among mexico's best drive, is preparing to qualify for the next olympic games. but she's leading a double life at nazi, showcases her skills as a rising video game, which i really like that when i get home from training, i can turn on the stream and just forget everything. you know, really, the next goes aquatic athletes currently have massive financial problems. the, delores has found a way to it's

a dream through online gaming. the delores has already tasted success on the diving board, winning gold at the 2015 pan american games. now she's aiming to compete at hood hood olympics. they all these here trying is invisible. i've been in the school for 18 years doing what i love. i can i started here in the pose of the crew. yes. and this pool be returning here, brings back many memories required. oh, you one sec. hello for can we saw an advertisement in the newspaper where they were doing trials for a diving school. and my dad told me, well, let's see for us, but at least 26. now i was 8 years old and it caught my attention and how they jump . i knew how they entered, who said, ma'am, on which i have been seeing them in the air and how they did all the tons. but that's when i began to develop a love for this boys who took in and set that up. they was able to say that as in

a motor point for an important one, always my parents told me if you put your mind to it, you can be in the olympic games for me. because in tokyo, delores and who caught in the catalina mendoza, which is non points away from winning bronze mexico. even though the conditions were far from ideal. seeing that the but i feel like touch there was a little more complicated due to the pandemic in a menu of the year before i have final surgery. this is the best on your phone 3 years before my brother died. and so they were a lot of emotions going on, but when i was there, i said you hear, you have to do it right. there's no other way. and i think it was a good result. easier perform. one of us went out. mexico has a long tradition in diving, looking to pay a is still a legend of to winning for olympic metals. next can drive as have stood a top of the podium, a total of 14 times,

making it the nation's most successful olympic sport. and that legacy has set the tone so many future athletes, including delores and things that i know if they or normally i try and 7 hours a day in the in the morning it's all about technique and dining in upside of and in the afternoon it's strength training some of the stuff of masons out a full time because we just a few months away from the olympic games. i'm preparing and there are several options. the competence him looking for samsung galaxy, but the most imposing competition is the last selection in mexico had yeah. which will decide the places for the athletes who are going to be in the big gay. and i received in my full funding because the it's a difficult process where they are from process a 14 months i didn't care. that is another big concern looming over her olympics.

dream. in 2023 mexico's national commission. the physical culture and supports caught its financial support for the mexican swimming federation. it faces accusations of embezzling more than a 150000000 paces following a conflict with world aquatic. highest authority for what a sports at an international level. the loss of vital funding meant mexico's according to athletes, were forced to find alternative ways to fund this board. inquiry is kevin berlin, for example. a gold medalist in the last pan american games. and one of mexico's great hopes that the power so lympics had to start his own coffee business to kate . his dream alive to mexico synchronized swimming team who also won gold at the pen and games. sold swim, search and towels while tokyo bronze medalist, alexandro, roscoe and gabriella. goodness, even considered auctioning, that precious metals annual but so last year we didn't have any competition

because they've had problems with the federation, with little problems and less, some training is important. but in competition so you can see your mistakes. good for us at all. what can i change? what can i do for the next competition to reach 100 percent? i feel confident. i think that has been the most difficult thing for me. losing that rhythm of competition, sensitive and in order to cope with the reduced financial support from the government. delores found her own solution just in front of him for the for as long as i can remember, i've always had a console. it was just the now and i had an older brother and since he was little, he also really liked video games. so he invited me to play and from there i found a love for video games, of course, before the last finished. but it was still a kind of quality time or was it kindly that no. so after training,

she switches roles. the olympic type becomes low and pick up ways i'll bring on live because i'm going to show off my background costume. it's on the bid. why can't i catch the one you level, the lowest began gaming on, which is a way to switch off off the training. but now this hobby could become a financial avenue. can you tell me what it does is amber was almost always off to training. i come and play for an hour or 2 to distress from the whole day that i mean i saw in the manual buy. so then last year when the lack of support began, i so, so what can i do? like i said, i have to do something because this isn't going to be fixed soon. it's all until i figure it out for an employee. and where am i going to get the resources? who am i competitions and everything was fine and confidential, but a little bigger and associates. a lot of times he was because, i mean,

then i saw that switch has growing along and i said, well, i mean i'm a bit of an inch of as well. but i think it could work a lot of videos i've done well, i have my father is and there are people who connect with me almost daily. right. and i've already made a community in my community that you're not saying it's 9 me gaming hasn't replaced last funding, but delores knows that like any career perseverance will eventually bear fruit within 3, which is then it will support onto it. so you have 2 ways to get support. well, there is a said which is the commercials at all is one of the others use visual coins with follow is, can donates whatever they want to in the beginning and allow for those. and then you can get, subscribe, does he pay you a certain amount each month? i see that as move in there. okay. what are in on to which is very different from

what i and with my diving scholarship fed up with us. but i know that this is a fairly long process, e. my son's a lateral o m. and that obviously to which doesn't cover my trips at the moment. but that's the dream was good news here for it, or i'll tell you, i won't be, i is a little more confidence in your for that i, i would like to have a little, you know, financial support in the bottom as well. and they say they might maybe someone goes to my channel because they had a bad day or because they also went to the stress honestly. and well, i also think that satisfies me. i don't want to keep those up for to see can the deals. dolores need service now because in the coming days she needs to prepare for the next competition that could take her to the paris olympics after trip, as more than 700 kilometers. to leon dolores is about to compete with other mexican

divers to qualify for the del uh, weld, comes that much in the lower, says coach copy with youtube bureaucratic issues. yet another set back with you. i've been training with her for 14 years, and in every competition she's been with me. she's the one that gives me security, the one that gives me confidence and everything, and the fact that she's not here well, it brings a bit of insecurity. you know, the things that we have. so it's the 1st round of diving from the 3 made a spring board, one by one. the mexican athletes execute the routines of various stalls, ends difficulties despite everything dolores is doing well the

she moves on to the next round, which will take place in a few hours. that will decide who makes it to the world cup, which will then provide them with a chance to qualify for the olympics. the competition is becoming increasingly close. dolores has to be at the very best of the last. john could decide everything

about the lawyers. stuff is a lapse in concentration and has to report or attend, which is punished with a penalty and effects the confidence the poor dr. quotes dolores has aspirations to qualify. after a promising performance dreams a shot. it instead, a runs a vasquez and alejandro esther. do you go to doha, looking to secure the place at the next 70 things? it's been a competition that i really did not enjoy at all. but let's none and analyze for the next competition and avoid the same mistake. this dolores takes a few days off to recuperate, into their crews, but the possibility of qualifying for the power. so lympics has not yet disappeared

. with no one lucky is get the. the good thing is that the road is not as good as him. there is still one more competition to go to not in the environment, the 1st massey calling because i will return to training, increase the difficulty of the dives and set some k a goals and let them know if that's good time to turn on the console to get the racing results and restart the game. the most important thing in sports and video games in life is to have that patience which is needed to be able to achieve things to try and enjoy every day. and then that is what the, the, the, this is the, let's view. we'll tell you who we are happy that we are back to the story.
