Carolina Flores has become one of the most exciting young athletes in the world of mountain biking, proudly putting Mexico on the global cycling map. Known for her relentless determination and exceptional skill, Carolina has rapidly risen through the ranks to become a formidable competitor in the international MTB (mountain bike) scene.

Born and raised in Mexico, Carolina discovered her passion for cycling at an early age. From local trails to challenging international courses, she has continually pushed her limits. Her dedication and hard work culminated recently in a spectacular victory at the Tropical MTB Challenge 2025, where she clinched the gold medal in the Under-23 (U23) category with an unbeatable time of 1 hour, 26 minutes, and 37 seconds. This win not only marked a personal milestone but also shone a spotlight on Mexican talent in a sport traditionally dominated by athletes from Europe and North America.
