Guipuzcoa kirolak with giovanni batista because we are guipuzcoans and we are passionate about sport here begins guipuzcoa kirolak art leo very good afternoon we start and here not the one that on a day in which we will talk with the medalist Clara Azurmendi we will get on a canoe to talk about how it was la zurriola cap and we will save you from refereeing so let no one move because here begins guipuzcoa kirolak for guipuzcoa kirolak with giovanni batista we start the program talking about badminton and the duke open has left us very good news with the bronze obtained by a clear azurmendi, whom I greet ad clearly, at times I tell her how everything is going well, thank you first of all zorionak miles, well, that bronze in the dutch open, a semi-final, well, it almost almost allowed you to fight for the gold and silver medal, but of course It is a good trophy, yes, the truth is that I am very happy with the result, especially with the sensations and with the game throughout the week. We did not come from having been stopped for six months due to injury since April without competing, well, I had competed ago. two weeks in Turkey but it had been like the set-up to see that everything was in order and I think there is no better way to return and do it with good feelings but also with accompanying results because we always say no that in the end elite sport Well, sadly, they are results, they are processes, medals, trophies, achievements, but recovering from an injury lasts, an injury that in the end takes you away from the sport for a considerable time and you will do it again at the level you had before. Of course, it is double awards, the medal and recovering the level yes just let’s see in the end I also already believe that the experience no the years have made me put a little thought no to these decisions that have to be made okay I know that I want to compete maybe the annoyance allows me to compete a little more, but life is much more than sport and health will always come first and sometimes you have to take it with your head instead of your heart and you have to do what we believe makes more sense in the long run then. Well, it is also true that the result and the competition come back and that things go well, they tell you that you have made the right decision, but well, I am very happy with everything, especially having returned to compete without any discomfort, what is it? It is more appreciated because well, the life of the athlete is short but then life in general is siren and you have to try to make it the best possible way. I would also ask you a little later what it is like to manage an injury from the personal level. the recovery and a bit of being mental, seeing talking about mourning, see how the journey to the semifinals was, because in terms of sensations on an emotional level, it went from less to more. It is true that since I had not competed for a long time, I remember that they came out and had the game. I was very nervous, it was that feeling of how the body also forgets about that adrenaline of the competition, all those nerves that generate you that are necessary because at first it was a little difficult for me to find myself playing but well, as I told you, it was less to more and I was finding my level, I was finding that clear competitor who had been away for a long time and then, well, I think the semi-final was a good match with the shame of being there, as you said, I was still a little away from being able to fight for For another color, not a medal, but well, I think it has been a very positive tournament in general and we have to stay with the good instead of with it. I have lost that option of no, so we have to be objective and we have to see it with perspective and I think that It has been a very good tournament and like that small boost for all those who come now, yes because perhaps in that small moment after the eliminatory, it would be said, well, what a pity it did not reach the final or good to manage it in such a way that it is, but of course not. It is the same to eliminate you or to be eliminated, even to win a bronze knowing that one simply reached the semifinals or they simply felt and then there was no competition, there was the possibility to say because of these details they have already given us a final, well, yes, I am here to be. in a final or not, the same after long-term analysis, that is me seeing it and talking about it with my Almonte coaches
