Who Is Daniela Larreal Chirinos?

Daniela Greluis Larreal Chirinos was born on October 2, 1973, in Maracaibo, Zulia, Venezuela. She is the daughter of cyclist Daniel Larreal, who won a silver medal at the Pan American Games in 1971.

Applauded as one of Venezuela’s most important sportspeople, Daniela Larreal Chirinos has been a five-time Olympian and a leading Venezuelan cyclist for over twenty years. Throughout her career, which spanned 24 years, she competed mostly in American events.

However, Chirinos also won over 35 foreign medals. She competed in the UCI Track Cycling World Cup, winning several stages of medals. Later in her career, Daniela Larreal Chirinos became critical of corruption in sports organizations as Venezuela descended into a crisis.

Nicolás Maduro’s administration increased Chirinos’ criticism of her nation’s governance. Due to her activities, Chirinos was driven into exile in the United States, where she joined the political opposition in Venezuela.

Her greatest performance was in seventh position during the London Team Sprint final. In the Pan American Games and the Pan American Championships, Chirinos also won a gold medal.
