The athlete from La Rioja, Marina González Mazo, does not stop adding successes in her brilliant career. She has obtained a scholarship to study in the USA and be able to continue practicing her sport: Olympic shooting with a carbine. The milestone achieved by Marina is not less, since she is the first person in Spain to get a scholarship in the USA with this sport, since they are more common in practices such as basketball or tennis. Marina will study next year at UAF University of Alaska Fairbanks. There she will form part of the university team and participate in the NCAA university league, the National University Sports Association.
At the age of 17, she is now studying at the High Performance Center in Madrid and next year, already in Alaska, her intention is to combine a career in design with sports. “My goal in Alaska is to raise the level of the team in the college league, at least to get the national award; and also continue working on the Olympic cycle to reach the 2024 Olympics. ”
