At the competitive level of these Olympic Games it makes it more difficult for me because I believe that many factors influence, among which it should be noted that many of the athletes with medal options have not been able to attend for different reasons, among which are injuries. I’m talking about tennis, badminton …
As you say, I do not want to mention the diplomas because what counts is the metal and specifically the quality of the metal. Hence, Spain has been where in my opinion it did not correspond. Not only because of the work and effort that you mention of the athletes, since we must also highlight the work of the federations so that the competitors reach their maximum level, led by the president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco, who since took over the position in 2005, he knew how to unite federations and athletes so that Spanish sport is where it is.
You say and I did not know that Alejandro Blanco earns 100,000 euros per year. I have to tell you that it seems little to me for the work you carry out for the benefit of Spanish sport. And I can assure you of that because I have experienced it in the first person, as well as many athletes who have helped and continues to help achieve the best possible results.
But despite the changes that occur within the Higher Sports Council, it has little to do with the COE developing its work of joining forces and helping federations and athletes to achieve the objectives set.
There is an article that explains that “Spain is not getting few medals, it is getting exactly the ones it pays for”. Is it really possible to invest more money in sports with the one that is falling to get more medals?
