‘In heaven your flights will be safe’

Meanwhile, the community is mourning the loss of the talented gymnast, who in April shared an Instagram post saying that she “couldn’t be happier performing.”

“Heaven honors your trajectory, the one you always loved and that with your soul you gave everything to shine on high. Rest in eternal glory,” photographer Álvaro Maldonado shared in a Facebook post alongside several photos of Barceló.

“Your life was the circus and the trapeze steals it with an unfortunate accident… Fly high precious, in heaven your flights will be safe and the little angels will applaud your pirouettes so your star shines brighter,” shared a longtime friend in a touching tribute.

“Rest in peace, my life. Now you will shine even brighter,” Barceló’s mother, Mayte Cerdà Mas shared on Facebook.
