Anahí Sosa was born 19 years ago, more precisely on September 12, 1982. The city of Córdoba (ARG) saw her grow up and enjoys her sporting achievements.

This gymnast is characterized by her great flexibility, enormous strength and tremendous expression. Her passion for the sport she loves is demonstrated in her hard-working 8-hour daily training sessions at the Club Municipalidad de Córdoba under the supervision of her coach, Prof. Silvina Márquez.

Her first great achievement was achieved in 1991, when she became National Team Champion, at just 9 years old.

The following year he obtained the Provincial and National scepters and in 1993 the gold medal of the National Club Tournament.

The victories continue in 1994, when she obtains gold again in the National Clubs and is classified as Subchampion of Argentina. But the most outstanding fact of her is her international debut, getting the 3rd individual place in Chile (with a bronze medal in maces).

A year later he obtained the silver medal in the Youth South American Tournament held in Lima — Peru (being a finalist in rope and hoop). He also gets, once again, gold in the National Club Tournament.

In 1996, he maintained his habit of taking gold in the National Club Tournament and the Argentine Subchampionship. This year he makes his debut in the Club World Cup (Junior category) bringing 14th place from Tokyo — Japan. In the Youth Pan American he achieved the 4th individual position and is a finalist in three apparatus (achieving silver in rope).

During 1997 he entered the Senior category, which does not prevent him from staying with the Argentine Subchampionship. Ukraine, France, Bulgaria, Australia, Colombia and Germany see their first steps at the Elite level of Rhythmic Gymnastics. 93rd in the World Championship, 10th in the Four Continents Tournament and 6th in the Pan American show that the change in category did not affect Anahí's enormous temperance.

But it is in 1998 when her consecration takes place by reaching for the first time the title of National Rhythmic Gymnastics Champion, obtaining first place in all the Argentine tournaments in which she participated. In addition, she achieved 43rd place in the Moscow Youth Olympics — Russia and the 6 gold medals of the María Marino International Tournament (Santiago — Chile). She also participates in the Odesur Games (Cuenca — Ecuador) and is classified South American Champion with 6 gold medals: individual, team and in the rope, ribbon, club and hoop finals.
