100 kilos. That was the weight Melissa Martínez reached in her early years in front of the cameras, when she was just starting out in Colombian sports television.
Today you see her commenting on a World Cup for ESPN, and it is hard to believe she is the same person.
It was not a crash diet or an editing trick: it was a comprehensive, sustained process, conceived first for her health and not for how the audience would see her.
That is why one phrase is being repeated strongly on social media: “her before and after should be studied by NASA”. Perhaps exaggerated, but understandable when you see the photos side by side.
