The runner is grateful that she is alive, has life and will start from scratch with her new instagram account: @LaLandazuriOficial, the previous one was hacked.
The last official participation in a sprinter competition Ecuadorian Marizol Landázuri it was in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, where he was part of the 4 x 100 relay team, which was eliminated in the first round. This participation was the beginning of a new story that the athlete began to write, now as a lady.
According to the emerald runner, from the Silesian Relay World Cup 2021 started talking to him more often Dominican athlete Alexander Ogando Bautista. “We talked a lot and everything was given.”
“He was always falling in love with me, I was focused on my participation in Tokyo. At the end of July, when we were in the Olympic Games, he came to my room, we started talking and since it was late, I told him to go to sleep. He asked me to leave him for 5 more minutes, my roommate (Virginia Villalba), He told him just to go away. He indicated to me that he wants to stay as my husband, so I replied: ‘When you win an Olympic medal, I can be your wife.’ My friend smiled and when he left he told me: ‘Ah, that’s the condition’ and I answered, ‘yes’ ”.
“Exactly on July 31, he won the silver medal in the 4 x 400 relays and as soon as he arrived at the Olympic village he went to look for me with the medal in his hand and told me: ‘You can already be my wife ‘. I knew that he was injured and had not run the semifinal, I thought they would not consider it in the final. When I saw the medal, my eyes were like fish. My friend told me: ‘Marizol, what you got yourself into because that was serious. ‘ My heart was beating at a speed of 500 km per hour, not even when I get into the match, the truth is that I was very nervous, “acknowledges the sprinter.
Marizol points out that after Tokyo they kept in touch. “I was in Esmeraldas and he invited me to the Dominican Republic to meet his family and after a week of being here we went out to dinner and there he proposed to me. I said yes because he is a person I love, I feel good, his family and his team have accepted me well and we will be together in any part of the world where we go to compete or not ”.
Despite the fact that the athlete is younger than the Ecuadorian, he is 21 and Landázuri 30; for her, that is not an obstacle to being happy. “Age does not matter because there are very adult people who continue to behave like children. in the end is who you want to be withIt is the moment, it is the person that you are going to share your life with. Age has never in life been an obstacle to being happy. I like him because he has a lot of dedication to what he does. Sometimes it is not the time you spend with the person, but simply the person, you connect and when there are common interests, it is much better. That happened to us He asked me to marry him and I stayed in shock because you have to live life, I don’t care what people say and you have to live it as you want ”.
Regarding her upcoming competitions, Landázuri indicates: “I am focused, calm. Being outside of Ecuador is having a lot of peace, it is having tranquility, it fills you with energy because one is outside the country that one loves surviving, despite whatever situation arises, so I am here, in the Dominican Republic, because I need to be here, it is an advantage for any athlete who wants to better prepare to be outside of Ecuador. Many people believe that you go out for a walk, that you ask for support to leave and that is not the case. As a professional, if you want to improve, you must make that decision”.
The Esmeraldeña admits that at some point she thought about retiring. “In Tokyo I met Álex (Quiñónez) and we talked with him about a retreat from athletics, but we sat down, laughed, reflected and said that we couldn’t do it because we had nothing (financially) and we agreed prepare for the new olympic cycle”.
Landázuri indicated that as long as it is her turn to participate in an official tournament, she will train in her husband’s land. “I’m going to train here and I’ll be between Dominican Republic and the United States. My husband trains here with his team and my coach is in the United States. I will also take time to go to Ecuador to visit my family”.
His goal is the next Olympic Games: “We will prepare for Paris 2024 And if something happens along the way, God will know. I am focused on that and it is the goal, I want to be calm concentrating on my things, now in this new stage of my life (married) it gives me a lot of strength, it helps me a lot, I’m calmer outside, here in the Dominican Republic many people help me here, my husband’s coach, the famous Super Felix Sanchez, a double Olympic medalist, he helps me a lot; Also, my coach from the United States supports me in many things that I do, there we are, until Paris we will have many tournaments to improve the brands”.
Their accounts were hacked
The athlete who through her Instagram account (@MarizolLandazuri) always raised her voice in protest or denounced something related to sports management said that she they hacked your account. “On September 18, 2021, I they hacked my Instagram and Facebook accounts. The person who did it texted me and said ‘someone sent to do thisGive me $ 500 and I’ll give it back ‘, I asked him who he was and in my desperation to find a solution I tried to reach an agreement, but when he demanded money I did not accept him because if you give in the first time, you will always be blackmailed; then he wrote to me and said that if sent photos Naked of mine I paid back the bill and I was never going to accept that. I had to file a complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office ”.
The sprinter indicates that she had the opportunity to recover her account, following some steps that had been indicated, but she did not do so because she forgot and just found out about the passing of his friend and brother Alex Quiñónez. “You have social networks to have followers, to have a good reception and even to work. I am aware that Alex will not return, but I can create other accounts. I told myself those social networks I don’t want them anymore and that day Alex left (October 22, 2021) I said I don’t want those social networks anymore ”.
Marizol reiterated that the Instagram account ‘Marizol Landázuri’ is disabled and will disappear because it has been canceled and the system automatically deletes it at some point. “I am sorry for the process embodied in each publication and I am not afraid to start over, because I will always start in what I like to do as many times as necessary. My new account on instagram is @LaLandazuriOficial ”. (D)
