OJINAGA, Chihuahua –– The small border city of Ojinaga received a glamorous honor this week: Alegna Gonzalez, a hometown track star who took fifth at the Paris Olympics in race walking, graced the cover of ELLE Mexico on newsstands across the country. The covergirl appeared in an array of athletic and streetwear styles provided by Nike. “In a world where sport is linked to masculinity, Alegna González redefines the rules by being strong and feminine,” the magazine wrote of the young racing legend.
