It makes us very proud! Athlete Alexa Moreno makes history by being the first Mexican athlete in getting her own Barbie, as she has become one of the greatest athletic references in our country thanks to her incredible gymnastics talent.

Moreno is part of the 9 high-performance athletes that were immortalized with their own Barbie doll, which also includes figures such as Venus Williams, Mary Fowler, and Christine Sinclair.

Through a statement, the senior vice president of Barbie and global doll director of Mattel, said that the goal of this collection, that is also celebrating the 65th anniversary of the iconic doll, is to recognize "the impact that sport has to boost self-confidence and ambition in the next generation."

In a video where the design of each doll is shown, each athlete is shown next to their doll explaining to upcoming generations the importance that sports have had in their lives.

For her part, the 29-year-old gymnast motivates girls with the phrase: "The best is to not be afraid to dream and to go for it!", while holding her doll with love and saying how happy it makes her to be part of this amazing project.
