The athlete Ana Peleteiro has expressed her desire to be a mother in the short term and this has been reflected in the contract that binds her to her sponsor, the German sportswear brand Adidas , which reacted positively to the wishes of the Galician when she renewed The contract last September. "Javier Zapata, on behalf of the firm, told me: It will not affect anything in your contract even if one year you get pregnant and do not compete," he said.
Peleteiro wanted to be sincere from the beginning with the brand that "owes everything" and that from the beginning on the slopes he trusted her. "They have been my main ally," he said in an interview after the presentation of the "Dedicate 1 minute" campaign of the Spanish Association against Cancer.
The Spanish triple jump champion is clear that " some injuries may be worse than a pregnancy " as they have longer recovery times, such as an Achilles tendon that recovers in six months. "It is absurd to terminate the contract because you are pregnant and nothing happens if you have a long-term injury."
The athlete, was sixth in triple jump in the Doha World Cup without being in optimal physical condition, it is clear the deadlines of pregnant women. " Even if you are pregnant you can continue training and once you give birth at 40 days you can start exercising ." "If I want to fight for women's rights, I can't hide that, women have the right to be a mother when they feel like it and not lose their rights" and reminded tennis player Serena Williams that she knew "protect pregnancy" and announce it before.
And he disagreed with the ways the American sprinter Allyson Felix used her sponsor (Nike) to tell her that she had been a mother: "If you want to fight for women's rights you can't wait to give birth, that doesn't help women".
