All this after winning in an exciting final, our compatriot demonstrated a great performance by beating the Brazilian Guilherme Montenegro, thus achieving the desired title for which he has worked for several years.

But who knows him more than anyone else? Micheel Yancce was born in Lima, but at a very young age he went to Apurímac with his family for reasons of his parents who had a farm in Chincheros, however, at the age of 4 he returned to the capital and now he breaks it into the sport of waves. . At 17 years old he reaffirms that he is a prodigy for this sport.

Thus, El Comercio contacted Jorge Saavedra, the team leader and member of the Bodyboard sports club in Peru. and he talks to us a little closely about the athlete’s life and everything he has worked in silence to obtain this world title. “For 5 years we have been working with a youth team, where Micheel Yancce stands out, considered a sports prodigy worldwide, as well as Cristopher Bayona, Fabio Saavedra and Hannah Saavedra – who achieved third place in the world this year. year in the women’s category after the World Tour. It has been a hard road where the support of private companies has been almost zero except for brands such as Santa Natura, Independent bodyboards, Mareyuntas and sometimes in the final stretch Fenta and IPD, since each trip has been a story” , he reveals to us at first.

“The Tour has several dates around the world, which we have been able to participate due to family support, activities (raffles, polladas, raffles, collections) and sports fans, who with campaigns made the trip of many dates a reality. But today it was reflected in the result of Micheel Yancce, who locally represented Punta Negra on Explosivos beach, with the support of Mayra and Edwin, his parents, has achieved the feat of becoming 2023 professional bodyboard world champion. , he added.

Likewise, he described a little about ‘Pirpo’s’ personality, as his social circle affectionately calls him: “He is a very humble and talented person, who will be talked about next year along with this gold quarry that was born for this sport,” he commented.

“His parents are from the mountains and he came to Lima for things in life, he met the Punta Negra Bodyboard school, where Jhony Aguirre started training him as a child. That’s where we met because he liked sports and we met through my children. I started to be the leader because I started taking him to the beach and riding waves. There I met his father and his evolution was spectacular, since he was born for this. He does incredible maneuvers and has great technique. I practice sport, I have been national champion on two occasions, my daughter Hannah in this same Tour has placed third in the world, but here in Peru the information that is disseminated is about shows and soccer,” said the Team Leader of the Sports Club. of Bodyboard of Peru.

Micheel Yancce’s career has been on the rise, since he has only been practicing professionally for five years and now he has just won the World Cup held in Spain.

But what did Michel Yancce change to improve his performance and from being runner-up to champion in one year? Jorge Saavedra answered our question: “He added more experience in that type of waves, since we traveled to different types of strong waves and that advance of traveling to Chile and the Canary Islands, where the best waves are for practicing this sport, made us “He has an international touch and that helped him this year so that he can handle such radical waves,” he said.

Now, Micheel only has to follow the foam that, like a marine footprint, was left before by Sofía, Gabriel, Analí, Titi, today Mafer, Lucca and Miguelito.
