The Colombian athlete Andrea Domínguez is one of the best jet ski riders in the world. She started preparing herself from a very young age by training on a reservoir. Years later, she made history by being the first woman to reach the Runabout GP1, considered water's equivalent to Formula 1. It has not been at all easy to reach the peak of success since in this sport extraordinary physical preparation is needed but she has never thrown in the towel. In addition, her family and friends have always supported her during her most difficult times and that made her sure of herself. Andrea thinks that she has a few years left ahead of her and that she will keep winning competitions, but she also hopes to dedicate herself to her personal projects.
