The badminton player, the best Spanish in the history of this sport, felt the warmth and support of the new generations of athletes in Gijón
Carolina Marín, who this Friday will receive the 2024 Princess of Asturias Sports Award in Oviedo, visited Gijón yesterday, where she was received with enthusiasm at the La Tejerona sports center. The Municipal Sports Board shared the event through its social networks highlighting the atmosphere generated by the Olympic and world badminton champion in the city: “La Tejerona vibrates with badminton.”
The athlete, who had already expressed her gratitude for the support received in Asturias, had the opportunity to share her experience with new generations of local athletes. And, for the PDM, “Gijón always responds to major sporting events and the reception of Carolina was not going to be an exception,” and they trust from the entity that the young people have taken note of the valuable advice offered by the champion . This visit is part of the activities surrounding the delivery of the Princess of Asturias Awards, an award that, as Marín pointed out in Oviedo, represents not only recognition of his career, but also the growth of badminton in Spain. “My career is a dream come true,” he had stated hours before, underscoring the importance of mental health and the support he has received throughout his recovery.
