Dozens of sports brought together in the same environment: the Riazor stadium and the beach of the same name. Around them, children and adults shared their sports passions, while some discovered what their discipline could be in the future.
From María Pita they point out that thousands of people came to try some of the proposals that the more than 80 sports entities in the city that participated in the event brought to Riazor.

Young and old alike stood ready to strike each other in a fencing duel; some tried judo and learned a few new moves, while others opted to try a traditional sport like pétanque.
The Mayor of Sports, Manuel Vázquez, pointed out that events like yesterday’s help to “make visible the work of clubs and entities in the city”, making known disciplines “that previously had less tradition in the city or perhaps were considered minority, and, over time, they have been gaining followers, partners and fans”.

In this way, the thousands of people who, despite the overcast sky and the threat of rain, came to the Riazor area were able to learn, practice or learn handball, rugby, fencing, rhythmic gymnastics, boxing, judo, hockey , basketball, soccer, volleyball, aikido, athletics, tennis, crossfit, skating or weightlifting, among many other proposals.
From the stage, next to the Riazor sports palace, there was also time for activities directed in groups of several dozen people.
