Ana was very proud to run for her country. In 1987 she won two gold medals at the Pan American Games' in Indianapolis, in the US, and in 1989 she won all of her 800- meter races. Ana finished school and practiced harder and longer every day. She learned to fight against pain and to believe in her dreams. Soon she was the fastest girl in Cuba at 400 and 800 meters. She pushed her body hard, and began winning races at school again. "I think you can be the best." It was not easy, but with Beato's help, Ana quickly became thinner. She was heavy, but she was strong and fast. Luckily, Blas Beato, one of Cuba's most famous running teachers, knew about Ana. It was her dream and she did not want to lose it. She realized that she loved her school and her life there. But when Ana's school asked her to leave, she thought very carefully. Ana's future did not seem bright and exciting to her now. She felt heavier too, so she practiced less often. She stopped growing taller and started growing fatter. "If I work hard," she thought, "I can be the fastest girl in Cuba." The other children at Ana's new school were tall and strong. At thirteen she had a place at a government sports school. At last she heard the news that she was waiting for. Ana knew that only Cuba's best students were chosen. Soon she was winning races-often without shoes! She wanted someone from a government sports school to see her. By the time she was ten years old Ana could run very fast. There were special government schools for intelligent young scientists and for children who were good at sports. The Cuban government wanted to produce the best doctors, the smartest teachers, and the strongest sports players in the world. Sports were important to her family and they were important to Cuba, too. She was a happy child and from an early age she loved running. Ana Fidelia Quirot was born in a small town in the east of Cuba. For further information, click here.Invata engleza citind, nivelul recomandat A2 Elementary.Īna woke up.
