Almost at midnight on Monday, December 25, Pajón made a publication on her X account, previously called Twitter, to clear up all doubts about the subject.
“I have not announced my retirement. I will retire when I stop feeling passionate about what I do. I love the ‘bike’ and representing my country, and there is still a lot of chain to wind up,” were the words that accompanied his ‘post ‘.

And in this test the representative of the department of Antioquia finished in first place after having crossed the finish line with a time mark of 37.529 seconds.
Precisely, after achieving this victory, Pajón spoke with Caracol Sports and commented: “Since they were building it, I saw that it was going to be a very good track. Even my teammates who came before me to watch it told me that it was worth it. come and since I tried it I felt very good. I think it has been one of the best tracks I have competed on.
And she added: “I really competed for the delegation, the department and because I love this sport.”
