A world champion at SOLTRA: visit of María Martín Granizo

9 Jan. 2023 | SOLTRA

We start the year 2023 with the visit in our facilities in La Virgen del Camino of María Martín Granizo, the young sportswoman from León who was proclaimed World Parasurfing Stand 3 2022 Champion in the event held on the beaches of California.

Maria is the ambassador of SOLTRA’s Hazte Incluencer movement and wanted to share with us her experiences in the waters of Pismo Beach with the best in the world in this sport.

The final was extremely close with her teammate Mireia Cabañes, in difficult sea conditions. In the last seconds María caught the wave that gave her the victory “I was very nervous while I was waiting for the score, it was the longest five minutes of my life” María Martín Granizo tells us.

2022 has been a year of success for Maria: 2nd position in the Spanish Adaptive Surfing Championship, bronze medal in adapted skiing in Austria (FIS) and the gold medal in the World Adaptive Surfing Championship held in the United States.

This 2023 begins in La Molina, a resort that is committed to adapted skiing as a tool for social inclusion. Maria is part of the Ski Studio of the Paralympic team that trains in this Catalan resort that has established itself as a world reference centre for International Paralympic Committee competitions.

Thank you Maria for your visit and for always carrying the flag of Inclusion with you.

Below you will find an interview with María Martín Granizo in the sports newspaper Marca.
