The 30-year-old skater from Neuquén completed the course in 39s. 70/100 and she placed last among the 30 competitors who participated.
But nevertheless, Rodriguez López instituted a historic moment with her performance at the National Skating Oval in the Chinese capital, because never before had a Latin American athlete started a career in this discipline in a winter Olympic event.
The gold medal was in the hands of the North American Erin Jackson, with 37s. 04/100; while the Japanese Miho Takagi was second, at 08/100. The last step of the podium was occupied by the Russian Angelina Golikova, at 17/100.
Meanwhile, in the giant slalom modality of alpine skiing, Tomás Birkner de Miguel, from Bariloche, was unable to complete the first round “in adverse weather conditions,” according to the site ‘Argentina bajo cero’.
The 24-year-old skier will participate in the Slalom division test on Tuesday.
