This May, Guevara was expected to open her season at the second edition of the Mexico City meet but although she was present in the Olympic Stadium and received a standing ovation from the Mexican crowd, the two-time Pan-American champion whose earlier training had been sidelined by tendonitis in her left heel, did not compete.
Guevara now jokes about the injury which prevented her from competing in what the people Mexico City consider “her” meeting, in the later Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, and a series of other competitions which she had listed on her Olympic preparation schedule.
However, Guevara was still to face a much harder test in Rome Golden League meeting a few days later, and despite a very good 49.74 clocking she was beaten into second by Tonique Williams-Darling’s 49.25, the Bahamian still being one of the five Jackpot contenders.

Mexico City, Mexico — Home favourite Ana Guevara produced an emphatic victory in the women's 300 metres, in front of a near capacity paying crowd of over 50,000 exuberant spectators at the GP Banamex meeting in the 1968 Olympic stadium this evening.
Guevara’s time of 35.30 was an unofficial world best for the rarely run 300m distance, dramatically improving on the 35.46 time that Britain’s Kathy Cook had set back in 1984.
Guevara’s triumph in the last race of a two hour programme of competition was, of course what the home crowd had come to see but there was much else to keep them entertained in humid, and overcast conditions in Mexico City’s Olympic stadium.
