In The Spotlight
Maestra Jenny Lobato on her way to the Olympus of Elite Sport.
On the shores of the Mexican Pacific, where the sea breeze mixes with the heat of daily effort, a select group of young people has learned to wield the sword not only as a sport, but as a way of life. Esgrima Vallarta, led by the extraordinary Jenny Lobato, has had one of its most memorable seasons in the 2024-2025 cycle, making it clear that passion, discipline, and high performance can flourish even in a city better known for tourism than for Olympic podiums.
With 42 participations in total, this elite club has managed to put its fencers on the national and international map. But beyond the quantity, what stands out is the quality: 15 medals distributed in state, national, and international competitions, an achievement that very few academies in the country can boast. It is a record that speaks not only of technique, but also of an unwavering commitment to the art of combat sports.
Under the firm and sensitive gaze of Jenny Lobato, the athletes have trained with a determination that transcends age: from the youngest in the Children's category, through the fierce Cadets and Juniors, to the Seniors who compete both individually and in teams. Fencing, a sport historically reserved for aristocratic circles, has become a path to excellence for those willing to master body and mind with surgical precision.
The high point of this season has undoubtedly been the qualification of one of its athletes for the 2025 National Olympics, a competition that brings together the best in the country in a fight for sporting supremacy. This honor went to Iyari López Cueto, a young man who has demonstrated not only skill but also the mettle of a true modern warrior. He will represent Puerto Vallarta at the event to be held June 20-28, carrying in his weapon and his gaze the dreams of many and the pride of an entire community.
But the glory does not end there. Another key member of the team, Darío Romo, has achieved what many consider the threshold of high-level fencing: qualification for the 2025 Pan American Children's and Veterans Championship, an event to be held from August 15 to 21 that will pit him against the best on the continent. It is an achievement that does not come by chance, but through years of dedication, sweat, and commitment.
And while the spotlight is on these athletes, the figure of Jenny Lobato emerges as the soul of this dream machine. Teacher, coach, and mentor, she has managed to combine the demands of technique with respect for the personal growth of each of her students. It is not just about medals, but about shaping human beings who understand the value of strategy, respect for the opponent, and the beauty of fair play.
Esgrima Vallarta is not just another club. It is a trench of dreams and swords, a space where the select and the profound go hand in hand. Where the nobility of sport is lived out between masks and foils, between cries of victory and silences of concentration. In a Puerto Vallarta that often forgets the talent it holds within, this group has become an example of what can be achieved when you work with your heart.
Because in combat, as in life, the winner is not only the one who knows how to attack, but also the one who understands when to wait, when to advance, and when to give their whole soul in a single touch. This is how Esgrima Vallarta has written its history this season: with passion, strategy, courage, and a deep love for the sport that only the powerful of spirit can practice. And the best, without a doubt, is yet to come.
