Sofía Reinoso (born 23 October 1996) is a Mexican slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 2013.[2] She lives in Tlapacoyan, Mexico and is coached by Silvan Poberaj.[3]

Career

Reinoso won bronze medals in the K1 and Extreme K1 events at the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Peru.[4][5] By doing this she became the first slalom paddler representing Mexico to win a medal at the Pan American Games.[3] In 2015, she competed in the K1 event at the 2015 Pan American Games without winning a medal.

In 2020, Reinoso won a bronze medal in the Extreme K1 event at the 2020 Canoe Slalom World Cup in Pau, the first canoe slalom medal for Mexico at an ICF event.[6] She earned her best senior world championship result, of 51st, at the 2014 event at Deep Creek.[7]

Mexico was allocated the Pan American Olympic quota for women's K1 following the cancellation of the continental championships, with it allocated to the NOC with the highest-ranked eligible athlete.[8] Reinoso represented Mexico in the K1 event at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo,[3] where she finished 21st after being eliminated in the semifinal.
