Carlos de Anda

His family struggled as they were robbed by the government through corruption and dirty politics, but during a turbulent childhood and with the support of his mother, he found physical and mental refuge in sports.

[citation needed] Carlos de Anda Dominguez participated in the Central American and Caribbean Games competitions in Havana, Cuba,[2] and San Salvador in 1935, where he set a record that lasted 28 years.

During the celebration of the V Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, a tentative constitution was approved, a permanent committee elected, and the site of the second Central American and Caribbean Championships was awarded to Cali, Colombia, for August 1969, with Havanna, Cuba, as the alternate site.

Carlos de Anda Dominguez was elected head of the Mexican delegation during the 1967 Panamerican Games in Winnipeg, Canada, as well as the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Still in love with numbers, later in life he became General Director of La Nacional Compañía de Seguros, S.A, and in 1951 he started his own insurance company, Seguros La Colonial in the city of Chihuahua, which in 1959 by the President of Mexico, Adolfo López Mateos became La Aseguradora Hidalgo, S.A., one of the largest insurance companies in the country, and the only government owned insurance company in México.

When he retired, he dedicated his time to write about his great grandmother, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, an influential woman in Mexico's history who was married to a powerful governor of the state of Querétaro.
