Luisa Portocarrero was the alternate for the beam final at the 1992 Olympic Games representing Guatemala.
One of the many wonderful gymnasts coached by Carol-Angela Orchard at now defunct Seneca Gymnastics, Toronto. Recall that Carol-Angela married and moved to England after the Beijing Olympics.

Like so many other Seneca girls, Luisa went on to compete for UCLA.
I was reminded of Luisa after seeing this routine linked from a Gymbits post – Sport Seneca Style.
