Fernanda Moncada has become a prominent figure in Ecuadorian sports after winning the 2025 Speed World Championship in speed skating. Starting her career at just four years old, Moncada followed in the footsteps of her sister Renata, who was also a champion in Loja and Ecuador.
Her recent world title marks a significant achievement for Ecuadorian sports and highlights the high level of competition reached through discipline and determination. Moncada’s journey has included both victories and defeats, which she says have helped her grow personally and professionally.
“I am proud to represent my country, I always give my best in every competition. Ecuadorian sport has grown thanks to the courage of women who dared to believe in themselves; figures like Glenda Morejón, Neisi Dajomes, Lucia Yepez remind us that with determination we can leave our mark inside and outside the country,” said Moncada.
Throughout her career, Moncada has achieved several notable results. She became world champion in speed skating in 2025, finished fourth at the WRG Spain 2019, won four South American championships in 2019, was selected for the national team, became national champion multiple times, was named best athlete at the National Junior Games 2016, and dominated all long-distance events nationally.
Moncada’s achievements position Ecuador as a strong competitor internationally in speed skating. Her story serves as an example for young girls who see sports as an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
The recognition of female athletes is emphasized on this date as their leadership continues to break barriers toward a more inclusive society. The case of Fernanda Moncada illustrates how sports can be a tool for social change and women’s empowerment.
