Spain’s Salma Paralluelo making her mark at Women’s World Cup
Salma Paralluelo could have been preparing for next year’s Olympics if she’d decided to stick with track and not make the switch to soccer.
She scored the game-winning goal deep in extra time for a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, then added La Roja’s breakthrough goal in the 81st minute of the 2-1 semi-final victory over Sweden. Paralluelo is among several young players who have emerged at the World Cup, including 18-year-old Colombia forward Linda Caicedo, 20-year-old Australian forward Mary Fowler, and 21-year-old forward Lauren James of England.As a child growing up in Zaragoza, Spain, Paralluelo excelled at both soccer and track. She set under-20 records for Spain in the 400 metres and the 400 hurdles. She also competed in the 2019 European Indoor Championships.
