In another race, she finished 28th.[9][17] It was the first World Championship she had competed in.[18] In November 2009, she attended an event in Madrid organised by Programa de Alto Rendimiento Paralímpico (Programa ARPA) as part of the preparation for the Vancouver Games.[19] Following this, she participated in additional team training at Centro de Deportes de Invierno del Valle de Arán (Lérida).[19] The Campionat de Catalunya Open d'Esquí Alpí took place in late January 2010 with skiers representing the five regions of Spain including Aragon, Galicia, Catalonia, Madrid and the Basque Country.
