The second report has as its absolute protagonist Carolina Marín, one of the best badminton players in the world. Carolina talks about her emotions, her personality and her strengths just one week before she visits Asturias to receive the Princess of Asturias Sports Award. She smiles again and anxiously awaits that moment when she wants to feel, again, people’s affection.
His recent knee injury in the badminton semifinals at the Paris Olympics touched the hearts of millions of people inside and outside Spain. They were going to be his last Games and he planned to retire next year at the world championships. The sport was once again unfair to her, but ‘Informe Semanal’ has proven that her mental strength is extraordinary: “Not only have I been able to recover and recover from one injury, I have also done it with the second one and I am going to achieve it with this one. third. My dream is to retire on a badminton court, but I’m in no hurry.”
“We will not see a Carolina again in Spain or in the entire world in a thousand years because Carolina is exceptional.” These are the words of Fernando Rivas, her coach, the brain who created a different method to take her to the peak of success. He was the one who discovered her in Huelva when she was almost 14 years old and convinced her to come to Madrid. Her parents supported her from the beginning.
For Toñi, her mother, her daughter continues to surprise her: “she has been a great fighter. She has forged herself. She has gone out alone. She has had to make many decisions alone and it is to be admired.” Carolina corroborates this in the first person: “no one has given me anything in my life. I have had to work a lot.” The story of his career has not yet written the final point.
