It was Teo’s widow, Cati Mayans, who was in charge of unveiling this plaque at the most emotional moment of the afternoon. At the event, in addition to being present representatives of the institutions and of Ibizan sport, with the great names of Ibizan judo, such as Víctor Canseco, Juan Carlos Barcos, president of the Royal Spanish Judo Federation, and the president of the Federation were also present.

From Sant Jordi, a club now managed by his son Juanfran, they thanked the gesture “since for us it is a way to pay tribute to Teo Blázquez, founder of the club and the person who has done the most for our sport on the island.”
The plaque was not the only thing that has been inaugurated, the club has also made a small museum with memories of the achievements of Teo Blázquez as the main promoter of Ibizan judo.
