PAULA PÉREZ BELTRÁN

How old were you when you started swimming? Why?

I started swimming with "Club Natación Torrijos" in the season 2007/08, but I used to swim in swimming classes when I was young because of my back problems. Now, swimming is my hobby.

Which is your favourite style?

I usually swim all butterfly distances (50m, 100m and 200m) in most of the competitons. I like that but I think 200m butterfly is really hard. I also like swimming 200m and 400m freestyle.

What was your best achievement?

To represent Castilla-La Mancha´s team in the Spain Championship, and to have participated in many other Spain Championships.

How much time do you spend training? Do you have enough time time for studing, going out with your friends...?

Training sessions take from 20:30 to 22:30, at least five days a week. Some days I can´t go swimming because I have to study.

Yes, I go out with my friends too.

Have you met new people from other places?

Yes, a lot of people like Marta (Ciudad Real), Lourdes (Valdepeñas), Candela (Almansa), David (Talavera), Sandra (Toledo) and so on.

How do you feel when you are seconds away from diving?

I feel really nervous. Fear and insecurities are rounding my head, but all these feelings disappear when I dive into the water.

What do you feel when you win? And when something doesn´t go as you expected?

When I win, I feel satisfied and happy with myself, and it gives me strenght to continue working. When something is not like I expected I become discouraged with myself and I throw off the towel quickly, but after all I start working again doing my best.

Have you ever thought about quitting swimming?

Yes, when something goes wrong, and now because of my studies.

Would you like to continue swimming in the future? In a professional way or like a hobby?

I would like to continue swimming, but I know it´s very dificult to become a professional swimmer, so I´ll continue swimming if not in a professional way, as a hobby.

Which are your objectives for this season?

To do the best I can, because I´m very concentrated on my studies.

Cave of the Crystals

In these first months of the magazine I will write a series of incredible and curious phenomena that occurs in different parts of the world.

Today we are going to start with an incredible landscape from Mexico.

Cave of the Crystals

This cave is located in the city of Naica (Chihuahua, Mexico) 300 meters deep underground.

It is an unusual cave that seems to have been taken from another planet. It is sometimes compared with the cave that appears in Superman films and is formed by the hugest pieces of crystal of the world. These pieces of selenite crystals can be 12 meters long, 1 meter width and can weight over 55 tons.

Despite of its beauty, this place is like a hell because of its temperatures that can reach 50ºC and its 98% of humidity. A human being could only stay in the cave for a few minutes before getting dehydrated.

Spanish researches who have been into the cave think that these crystals were created very slowly over a million years ago. Crystals were formed because of a magma chamber under the cave. This magma heated the underground water and it became saturated with minerals that contain a great amount of gypsum.

Interview to Daniela

DANIELA HERNÁNDEZ AGUIRRE

How old were you when you started practising rhythm gymnastic? Why did you start?

I started practising gymnastics when I was 8 years old, because when I was young I always liked bending, doing somersault and that things, however I didn´t know that there was a sport related to this until I saw it.  

What is the style that you do better?

I would say that what I do better is the ball and free hands.  

What was your best achievement in the 'Club de Gimnasia Rítmica Torrijos'?

This year´s best achievement in the Spanish championships, I reached the final, and I won the 7th position out of 120  

How many hours do you spend practising rhythm gymnastics? Do you have enough left time to do your homework, meet with your friends..?

Normally I spend 12 hours a week, but when we have a competition I spend around 18 hours. It needs a lot of effort and hard work. Yes I have time left to meet with my friends and to study at the weekends, if you have your day well organised, you can do it all!  

Do you have friends from other clubs?

Yes, I have made a lot of friends from different communities and even from different countries.  

Would you like to continue practising rhythm gymnastics in the future? In a professional way or like a hobby?

The truth is that I would like to. For me it is the same. I suppose that I would do it as a hobby more than in a professional way.  

What are your feelings when you´re only seconds aways from starting?

Tension, a lot of tension, joy and nerves, because in only 1 minute and a half you have to do what you have been preparing and working for all the year long. I would say that a lot of feelings at the same time. 

What do you feel when you win? And also when something is not as you expected?

When I win I feel very happy for myself but for my trainer too because she is the person that trains me very hard to the point of winning something.

And when something is not as I expected, I suppose that I get a little disappointed, but I´ve always thought that each sport has a good side and another dark side.  

What are your objectives for this season?

To better myself, to get new challenges, not only to pass to the finals.

What´s your favourite style in this this sport?

Free hands, that means doing the performance without apparatus (ribbon, ball, rope...) and ball and free hands are my favourite ones.
