The three times World Champion and Olympic gold in Atlanta, the best Ecuadorian athlete in history, Jefferson Perez, is for me considered one of the Ecuadorians heroes.
He had given to Ecuador one of the biggest awards in sport history. But his humbleness is what make of him a really hero. Nobody in Ecuador will forget the day in which for the first time we had our Olympic gold medal. That medal was really important in our history. Was the first step to start believing in ourselves as a big country who can reach important things.
But no just one time Jefferson Perez gave us a big achievement. So later on, there was any surprise to see him winning three times World Champion.
Finally, to end his successful career he tried once again to win the Olympic medal in Beijing, China. Unfortunately he could not. But his work didn’t stop there. After leaving the race courses, Jefferson is looking for other methods of achievement in his life. Currently he contributes to society through the foundation that carries his name, providing health, education and nutrition to children and teenagers.
