It’s a special first for Paula Pareto…

The 30-year-old Argentine judoka won the gold medal on day one of the 2016 Summer Olympics’ judo competition, earning her country it’s first-ever judo gold.

In the process, Pareto, who had previously earned a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, is the first athlete of Latino descent to earn a medal at the 2016 Rio Games.

Pareto, who works as a physician in her home country, dominated Korea’s Jeong Bokyeong in the final and won by waza-ari in the women’s -48kg category.

“Todo es posible! ‪#Judo ‪#Rio2016 ‪#JuegosOlimpicos,” tweeted the 2015 world champion after her golden accomplishment.

In December 2015, Paula received the Gold Olimpia Award as the best athlete of the year from her country.
