Alaís Natasha Perea Ponce (born 13 December 2004) is an Ecuadorian artistic gymnast. She is the 2021 Pan American bronze medalist on vault.

Perea was born in Cristo del Consuelo, a barrio in south Guayaquil, and grew up in a humble home.[3] She started training in gymnastics at age seven, riding on her father's bike every morning to train at a gym next to the Estadio Modelo, and idolized Simone Biles.[3]

Junior gymnastics career

Perea made her international debut at the 2018 South American Junior Championships.[4] She finished sixth in the all-around and seventh in both the balance beam and floor exercise.[5]

Perea was selected to compete at the inaugural Junior World Championships, which were held in Hungary in June 2019, as Ecuador's lone representative;[6] she placed 61st in the all-around.[7] She ended the season by placing second in the all-around at the 2019 South American Junior Championships in October. During event finals, she finished first in balance beam, second in floor exercise, third in vault, and seventh in uneven bars.[8]

Most competitions were canceled or postponed in 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
