The gymnast born in Mexicali, Baja California, recognized that pre-test preparation was the key to success.
"I only trained this week, I concentrated on catching the horse more, I did not feel comfortable with it, but the last few days were the best. I said that was what God wanted and that everything was fine, "explained Alexa.
The gymnast has joined Daniel Corral as the only Mexican to win a World Cup medal. the gymnast won the silver medal on horseback with a saddle in Antwerp 2013.
The Californian Baja medalist was the subject of several critics at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, due to her physical complexion.
