The Unyielding Spirit of Taekwondo Champion Carlos Sansore
Follow the journey of Carlos Sansores, a taekwondo prodigy from Cancun, Quintana Roo, as he rises from humble beginnings to global acclaim. Fueled by determination, family support, and perseverance, Sansores embodies the essence of triumph against adversity on his path to Olympic glory.
One of the best taekwondo exponents in the world is the native of Cancun, Quintana Roo, Carlos Adrian Sansores Acevedo, who has been practicing this sport since he was 11 years old, thanks to the opportunity to train for free at a school in Chetumal, where he spent most of his childhood; he is currently qualified for Paris 2024, his second Olympic Games.
“They gave free classes to the children of policemen; however, without being the son of a policeman, they gave me the opportunity to train, they gave me the basics, and after I was able to give my first national medal, I returned to Cancun with my state coach, Sinhue Peniche; he was more than seven years with the national team, so he has experience,” he shared in an interview with the National Commission of Physical Culture and Sport (CONADE).
