En un emocionante video compartido en redes sociales el 30 de diciembre, Marín mostró su progreso, entrenando con soltura a pesar de la aparatosa rodillera. Este avance, apenas unos meses después de la lesión, es una clara señal de su determinación y una promesa de su pronta vuelta a la competición.
El camino de recuperación de Marín ha sido acompañado por un emotivo homenaje en su tierra natal. un mural gigante, de entre doce y quince metros de altura, se pintará en la fachada del Palacio de deportes que lleva su nombre. La obra, realizada por el artista local Víctor Konestilo, capturará la esencia de la atleta, un testimonio del impacto que ha tenido en huelva y en el deporte español.
Este reconocimiento ha conmovido a Marín, quien ha expresado su profunda gratitud y emoción por este gesto. La imagen de su figura inmortalizada en el Palacio de Deportes, donde ha cosechado tantos triunfos, la llena de orgullo y la impulsa aún más en su camino de regreso a la cima.

It’s about finding that inner fire to push through the pain, to reinvent yourself, and ultimately, rediscover your passion for the sport.
Moderator: Ultimately, Carolina’s comeback story is still being written. What advice would you give her as she embarks on this challenging journey?
