After shedding a few tears on the floor of the Bercy Arena in Paris, Alba Torrens went into the locker room to give her final farewell speech to her teammates. Although these were her last Olympic Games, the captain of the National Team did not reveal whether she will continue until the Eurobasket or leave the team. “I did not make the decision before coming here, I do not want to make it today. It will be a decision that I will make cold turkey, I think it is better. It is an important enough decision to make it in time,” she said.
She then summed up the feeling in the dressing room. “There were tears in our eyes because of the sadness and frustration of not having achieved this victory that would have made us dream. It hurts, but it is part of sport. We like other feelings more but they are the ones we have to live with. We did not play to the level we could have. There was frustration because we did not put our potential on the pitch. But the only thing I have reminded the team is that now we also have to be together. We had happy moments in Lille, but in bad times we also have to hold hands.”
