Patricia Valle

Patricia Valle Benitez, known in sport as Patricia Valle, is a Mexican Paralympic swimmer born on 7 February 1979. She has built a record as a multiple medalist across the main international stages of para swimming, taking podium places at the Summer Paralympics, at the World Para Swimming Championships and at the Parapan American Games. Beyond the pool she has also served her community in public office as a councillor of the Corregidora Municipality in Mexico. Her career belongs to the wider story of Mexican adaptive sport, in which swimmers with disabilities compete in classified events at continental and world level. The English Wikipedia article that this entry rests on is short, so the exact number and colour of her medals is not stated there and is left for a later pass against the International Paralympic Committee athlete record.
