The ‘Atlas of Axial Spondyloarthritis’ provides information about a chronic disabling condition which often means that sufferers have to make major lifestyle changes

ear of physical dete- rioration, the restrictions im- F posed by the illness, the difficulties in continuing to work, the cost of rehabilitation... these are just some of the problems faced by people who suffer from axial spondyloarthritis. These can be reduced if the diagnosis is not delayed by an average of eight years, but on occasions the delay can be even longer than that, depending on the region of Spain, the hospital and even the specialist involved. Inequalities in treatment The problem is that there are inequalities in treatment throughout the country, and experts are now calling for this to change. “The main problem is that a patient has to be seen by so many people before being diagnosed,” explains Dr Victoria Navarro, a rheumatology specialist at La Paz university hospital. “They see different doctors and physiothera- pists, they are sent to specialists who have nothing to do with their problem... so much time is lost before they are finally treated by someone who specialises in their illness,” she says. For that reason, an ‘At- las of Axial Spondyloar- thritis’ has now been produced by the Spanish Co- ordinator of Spondyloar- thritis Associations (CEADE), the Univer- sity of Seville and the Max Weber Institute, in collaboration with The condition the Spanish Rheu- can mean that matology Soci- sufferers lose ety and No- mobility. vartis, to raise June 23rd to 29th 2017 47 SUR IN ENGLISH HEALTH&BEAUTY

She has already been compared to Mireia Belmonte because of her talent for long-distance swimming and has become the latest star of this sport in Malaga province, although she is reluctant to take any notice of compliments: “I don’t mind people comparing me with Mireia, quite the opposite, because she is a swimmer who has achieved everything, but nor do I want them to lose sight of who I am as an individual,” she says, referring to the very close race against the Olympic champion last weekend. This young swimmer from the Mairena del Aljarafe club has already earned a place at the adult World Championships in Budapest

It entertains me, swimming with waves and currents, the fight against other swimmers... I enjoy it much more than competing in a pool, where you have to keep turning round,” she says. Being the best Paula is well aware that it is almost impossible to make a living from swimming. Her family and her trainers all impress upon her the importance of studying. She is currently doing a part-time Baccalau- reate in Sciences at La Rosaleda school so she has more flexibility with her timetable. “I get up at 5am and start training here at Inacua at 6.15. I don’t have a fixed training time, so when I’m ready I go home to study and have lunch and then at 3.30pm I come back to the pool to train for the rest of the afternoon,” she says. She goes to school on Mondays and Wednes- days, and studies at home on the other days.

“The aim is for Paula to be among the top ten in the world,” says her trainer

Xavi Casademont has been working in Malaga for 30 years and has trained some of the biggest names in swimming in the region. He has a good eye for promising youngsters, but never creates false expectations. With Paula Ruiz, though, he has no doubts. “She is becoming an outstanding junior swimmer and is competing well against adults. The aim is for her to be among the ten best adult swimmers in the world, in time,” he says. For Casademont, Paula has an amazing talent for open waters and her capacity for orien- tation is “better than anyone else,” although she still needs to learn tactics for racing. “In the pool she is really good; in open waters, she is extraordi- nary,” he says. “Her training programme has been designed with the Olympics in mind, but the objective isn’t just to go to Tokyo - if it were, we would just buy tickets and go along to watch. She needs to compete to take a place among the top ten. We plan to do things bit by bit, to achieve our aims,” he insists. 58 June 23rd to 29th 2017 SPORT SUR IN ENGLISH
