From Paris
Spanish football is going through some glorious moments in 2024. The senior team won the European Championship in Germany, and the U23 team was crowned champions at the Paris Olympics, beating none other than the home team in a high-level display.
The team led by Santiago Denia continues with the line transmitted by Luis de la Fuente in the senior team, and in extra time beat France 5-3 at the Parc des Princes.
The medals in sailing, silver and from Buenos Aires
By Luca Fernandez
The Buenos Aires sailors Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco won the silver medal in the Nacra 17 class at the Paris Olympic Games and carried the Argentine flag to the podium. The man from San Isidro and the woman born in San Pedro stood out in the port of Marseille and won Argentina’s eleventh medal in sailing, a discipline that is only surpassed by boxing as the one that brought the most medals to the country throughout Olympic history.
“I’m very happy and grateful for the journey we’ve made, we worked very hard to be where we are and I’m very pleased, it’s incredible, I still can’t believe it,” said Bosco as soon as the competition was over. Majdalani, in turn, said: “I can’t explain it, I can’t believe it, I dreamed of it all my life and today I’m here.”
