Afro-Latina magic in action ✨ Sitting volleyball player Nicole “Nicky” Nieves helped her team win gold in the final match between the USA and China in the 2024 Paralympic Games’ sitting volleyball tournament. With this, the team has won its third consecutive Paralympics gold medal, and the 34-year-old athlete is now a two-time Paralympic gold medalist. Born in the Bronx, Nieves was instrumental in her team’s win, thanks to her six kills and two huge blocks during the game, the U.S. women’s sitting volleyball team was able to secure the win. Earlier this summer, Nieves was selected as one of the two flag bearers for Team USA at the Paris 2024 Paralympics opening ceremony. #NickyNieves #Boricua #LatinaAthlete #AfroLatinaMagic #Poderosa #ParisParalympics #2024Paralympics #PuertoRican #LatinasInSports #LatinaPower #AfroLatina #Hlog
