Rigoberto Urán shares viral photo of his humble childhood: "My first diploma, look at that, I did study well"

Rigoberto Urán, the renowned Colombian cyclist, has left an indelible mark on the history of cycling in his country and on the international scene. With more than ten seasons in cycling's elite, "Rigo" has made impressive achievements in his professional career. However, what perhaps not everyone knows is that the discipline that brought him to the top of the sport was ingrained in his nature long before fame and money were part of his life.

Cycling has always been a passion for Urán. Born in Urrao, Antioquia, he grew up surrounded by bicycles, family, friends and the authenticity of rural life. This part of his life has been revealed in the novel inspired by his life, which has catapulted him to fame in Colombian television. Through this production, we have had the opportunity to know intimate details of the life of this outstanding rider of the EF Education team, details that illustrate his path from his humble roots to the heights of professional cycling.

It has been argued that in his academic stage, "Toro" Urán was not exactly a diligent student. However, recently, Rigoberto Urán himself took it upon himself to deny this version and demonstrate that education has always been an essential part of his life. Through his Instagram account, he shared a photo from his childhood in which he proudly holds a diploma, accompanied by what is presumed to be his teacher at the time.

"My first diploma, look I was studying in shape," Urán commented in the publication, adding emojis of laughter. This image evokes a beautiful memory of the discipline that has characterized him since his early years, long before reaching the fame and prosperity he has achieved throughout his sports career.
