Alexa Moreno is Mexico's most internationally successful gymnast — a 4x Olympian who has competed in Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024. She became a symbol of body positivity after media tried to shame her body shape, instead responding by competing at the highest level. She won Mexico's first gymnastics World Cup medal and has inspired millions of young Latin American girls.
