On Monday night, the Queen of Calle Arriba de Las Tablas, Ana Isabel Carrizo, finished her parade alongside her 'tuna' (a group of university students) despite her shoulder dislocating about three times, her father explained. Social media was buzzing with all sorts of rumors, suggesting she might not participate. However, her drive and the spirit of a winner will lead her to conclude her responsibilities with joy, said her father, Gustavo Carrizo. A doctor in gynecology but with some knowledge of orthopedics, he spoke about it on Channel 13. For Queen Carrizo, the challenge is now greater, and despite the intense pain, she has allowed herself to be examined and injected, following the instructions of specialists who are monitoring her situation, her mother expressed. All of this is happening as Ana Isabel celebrates her birthday, and even amidst it all, she was serenaded by the 'tunas' and the people in Punta Fogón. Las Tablas continues to show why it's the 'mother of carnivals,' demonstrating its exuberant colors and impressive handling of the traditional parades. On this occasion, both queens showed their human and supportive side. In this regard, Astrid Carolina Sánchez Brandao, while preparing to shine before her people and all those waiting for the parade, sent a message of solidarity to her rival, Carrizo. 'It's a tough moment, and I understand it, stay strong,' said Sánchez Brandao, adding that beyond their encounters, they are human beings. Ana Isabel said she is enjoying her birthday and is ready to represent her tuna despite the dislocation. 'I was feeling discomfort from the harness I wore yesterday, and on the first lap at Parque Porras this Monday, I felt the costume was slipping down, but by the second lap, my arm was already reaching my leg,' said HM Ana Isabel. Regarding the words from the Queen of Calle Abajo, Sánchez Brandao stated that their fights or encounters are only for the carnival, not before or after, and she appreciated the gesture but that she was going out into the street to give it her all for what the Las Tablas carnival is with its two tunas.
