The Venezuela Olympic Committee Confirmed Daniela Larreal Chirinos’ Death via a Tribute

After police confirmed Daniela Larreal Chirinos’ death, the Venezuela Olympic Committee took to its X account to post a tribute. On Friday, August 16, 2024, the Venezuela Olympic Committee shared an image of Chirinos holding up a medal with her eyes closed and a flag draped around her shoulders.

Chirinos participated in five Olympics, from 1992 in Barcelona, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney in 2000, Athens in 2004, and London in 2012. However, she did not participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

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.
