The president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa, Oswaldo Betancort, and the Minister of Physical Activity and Sports, Juan Monzón, received the athlete Diana López to congratulate her on her recent victory in the 2026 Pole and Aerial Sports World Championship, held in Prague, Czech Republic.
The Lanzarote native managed to win in the Ultra Pole modality, a specialty characterized by the execution of acrobatic movements of great difficulty, in which participants must demonstrate strength, agility, coordination, and technical mastery. This result is added to a sporting career that includes the world championship obtained in Stockholm in 2024.
For his part, the Minister of Physical Activity and Sports, Juan Monzón, highlighted the demanding nature of Pole Sport, a modality that combines strength, flexibility, coordination, and discipline. "It is essential to give visibility to sports like this, which require enormous preparation and dedication, and to help break down the prejudices that still exist around its practice," he stated.
In addition to her competitive side, Diana López carries out work related to teaching this discipline in Arrecife, contributing to bringing Pole Sport closer to new practitioners and making its different modalities known.
With this new recognition, the Cabildo values a career marked by international results, physical preparation, and perseverance, as well as the importance of making visible sports disciplines that have a growing presence in international competitions.
