Career

Martínez began competing in rhythmic gymnastics at age 7 and, while she was born in, lives in, and competed locally for Spain, she represented Argentina at the international level from 2015 until her 2023 retirement. She competed in the 2017 Pan American Acrobatic Gymnastics Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States and finished 7th in the all-around final, 10th with hoop, 8th with ball, 6th with clubs, and 7th with ribbon.

She debuted in the senior category in 2018 at the Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix in Moscow but did not advance to the finals. She competed in but did not place at the Pan American Championship in Lima, Peru in 2018 or at the World Challenge Cup in Pesaro, Italy and Guadalajara, Spain in 2018 or 2019.

In 2021, she competed in the World Cup in Sofia, Bulgaria, part of the qualifying rounds for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She placed 4th in the team competition and as all-around, and won silver with clubs and bronze with ribbon. Martínez started 2022 by competing at the World Cup in Sofia and then Baku, garnering average scores at both events. Still, she became the first Argentinian gymnast to earn a medal in the World Cup circuit when she won bronze with hoop. At the 2022 South American Games, she earned silver in clubs and two bronzes in hoop and ball.
