What is most impressed by Sandra Sánchez in his metamorphosis. The look fierce over the tatami, challenging. She would say almost that she gives off hate. His smile contagious, irreprawnable, endearing, unbounded later, when the words are crowded to describe what he feels, at such a speed he expresses that it costs to follow it: "I am happy, excited, I want to laugh, to cry, jump, of Shout. I do not know, there are so many emotions! " She has just won a unique Olympic gold, because there was not in the past or there will be later, because she disappears from the map in Paris 2024.
Before, also in the antipodes, her husband, who is also his coach. "It has been the championship that has been more calm. I was an example: 'This is like an exam. If I'm going to tell you the questions the day before, how would you be? Well, I was looking forward to it." Yesterday, exactly yesterday, it was her fifth wedding anniversary. Jesus of morality, serene guy, the teacher who definitively urged her. And that she asked for posting the celebrations a few hours, as she today will be next to the other ward of her, Damián Quintero, who also seeks the gold at the Nippon Budokan.
Both celebrate the Olympic culmination of a life. Sandra, full of adventures, with the Kárate, that girl tantrum because she wanted to imitate her brother Paco of her and not dance like the other girls, as a common denominator. An effort that led him to the challenge when he left the center of high performance from Madrid to return home in Talavera de la Reina and take care of his mother's cancer, María Isabel. And that she scoted so much in the Federation that, then she was the 'staged'. A martial art that she did not abandon or when she went to Australia to study. And that he resumed at a late age that few would have poured their worldwide worldwide rule. Even in Dubai she required her how good she was her.
Because nobody ever chased so many wickers as this menuit, "Llaverito 'call her affectionately," champion of the world and everything, who took the specialty of the katas a skies in which he even surpassed the inventors. Because if merit had the gold of her, the more that surrounded him. The scenario, the rival, the judges. "I almost lied," she whispered in the bowels of Budokan, the Japanese temple of martial arts. Where, in the immaculate execution of the Kushanku Chatanyara, she achieved a global score of the seven Judges of 28.07, superior to Kiyou Shimizu, who performed the same (27,88). They equalized in the technical part (19.6), but the Spanish surpassed it at the strong point of it, the athletic (8.46 by 8.28). And more Jolgorio: "I knew I was going to be super just, all those burpees!"
And for that reason, because opposite was his great rival, who competed at home, who had time hiding things, to which in the morning they had rated more than the account and that he was dressed in blue - the color reserved for the serial heads, which He had to be Sandra being the number one of the ranking - everything was a suspicion. "I knew we had factors against, we were in Japan, it gave me all the same, I thought, 'I leave my soul in the tatami. And I gave them the heart'. And I've done, on the perfect stage, if it had to win , it had to be done that way, "he reasoned. "I was not going to condition anything, against Japan in the Budokan ... it was something that most people saw lost, I have always told him he was capable, it has come out spectacular," explained the moral.
Even the Iceta minister pointed to the medal, because it was one of the safer of the entire Spanish expedition. Because Sandra had the final kata so machined - "I've done it so many times, so many, so many ... workouts in Sierra Nevada, when you can not any more. And they send you the Chatan. He has been worth it" - That he only had to put his face of anger, shout his kiais with the soul and that the buzzing of his karategi amazed in the Budokan. And ... "Fuu! Let yourself be carried away, take out everything I've been inside. I'm really not aware of how all the movements have come out, I know I'm over with the greeting. And that I felt good. According to, happy there was left everything, the soul, the heart, everything ".
