The athlete from Lanzarote, Diana López, was received by the president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa, Oswaldo Betancort, and the Minister of Physical Activity and Sports, Juan Monzón, after being crowned world champion in the Ultra Pole modality at the 2026 World Pole and Aerial Sports Championship, held in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Lanzarote native triumphed in the Ultra Pole modality, a discipline characterized by the execution of acrobatic movements of great difficulty, in which participants must demonstrate strength, agility, coordination, and technical mastery. This result adds to a sporting career that includes the world championship obtained in Stockholm in 2024.
For his part, the Minister of Physical Activity and Sports, Juan Monzón, highlighted the demanding level of Pole Sport, a modality that combines strength, flexibility, coordination, and discipline. "It is essential to give visibility to sports like this, which require enormous preparation and dedication, and to help break down the prejudices that still exist around its practice," he stated.
In addition to her competitive career, Diana López develops work linked to teaching this discipline in Arrecife, contributing to introducing Pole Sport to new practitioners and promoting its different modalities.
With this new recognition, the Cabildo highlights a career marked by international results, physical preparation, and perseverance, as well as the importance of making visible sports disciplines that have a growing presence in international competitions.
