Magdalena competed in the 1992 Summer Paralympics where she failed to finish the 200m but finished second in the long jump behind Raisa Zhuravleva who set a new games record. She returned for the 1996 Summer Paralympics concentrating on the long jump and it paid off as Magdalena came away with the gold medal in a new Paralympic record beating compatriot Rosalia Lazaro on count back with compatriot Purificacion Ortiz completing the Spanish clean sweep of medals.
