"We are working to return as soon as possible and stronger.It has not been easy.It has been even harder than with the other injury.Think that two months after the games the dream goes to the trash for this injury...Is more than assumed.The first days it cost me a lot.It has been two complicated years, full of potholes along the way.I am sure that I am going to overcome this bump, "he said at Santander Talks with his coach, Fernando Rivas, and the director of events and sponsors of Banco Santander, Felipe Martín.
A month after its operation, Carolina Marín, who wore protection in the left knee, has recovered almost 100 percent flexion in the affected ligaments and begins to support the foot when walking."I would love to be for the World Championship in Huelva.I have been lucky because it has been delayed in mid -December and two more weeks is beneficial.At the moment, I put that goal, "said the Huelva.
Marín tried to extract a positive lesson from this period of injuries."Sometimes I think I don't know if this is good for me.That makes going faster to put more weight.On the third day I was trying to do my things.For having lived the experience of the previous injury I learn to be more patient.Bádminton we haven't done because it is my left leg, which is the dominant.I need to gain more strength, "he explained.

There is no doubt.Since I have not been able to fulfill this dream in Tokyo...Within this hole in which I saw myself now I think that only 3 years are missing and there we will be.Look that I am Cabezona and, since I am not going to get gold in these games, I want to go for that gold medal in Paris, "he said.
Banco Santander ambassador recalled that her greatest reference is tennis player Rafa Nadal, who has also renounced Tokyo 2020 and "has suffered and continues to suffer injuries"."People believe we are like robots and that's why I have empathized with others that the same thing happened to them.The injury has made me open a little more, "he admitted.

"It has not been easy.I have spent two complicated years: I went down enough in the ranking, in February my potato's accident passed, a month later, the pandemic, months later my potatoes dies, and now...my knee injury.Sometimes I think that, perhaps, these games were not for me.Life has put all this ahead, "he summarized.
Therefore, he reiterated that Paris 2024 is now "much more present", although three years still remain."What is closer is to try to reach the World Cup and hopefully we get up to the top of the podium," the world's tricampeone wanted.
