The award, presented this afternoon, recognizes both the promotion of sport for the millions of displaced people and the opportunity it gives them to participate in the Olympic Games
Despite the fact that the winner’s name was only released this afternoon, cliques about the potential shortlist have skyrocketed in the past few hours. And finally, the decision of the jury of the Princess of Sports Award has been a remarkable blow, which has not been left behind by any rumor. In another twist, on this occasion, the jury has not given up on an athlete who has managed to showcase his skills, his successes and his personality, erasing all fear and frustration, the entire world sports family. He has set his sights on a tool, a route, a ticket, for all those refugee athletes from all over the world with refugee status to have the chance to participate in the Olympics and for thousands of other displaced persons to gain access. to sport as a healthy and safe activity.
The Olympic Foundation and Refugee Team, promoted by the International Olympic Committee and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2017, were inaugurated in Oviedo today. The Princess of Sports Award 2022, tainted with an initiative that essentially aims to raise awareness of the current refugee crisis in the world, has distinguished an initiative whose flame flared during the event in Rio de Janeiro and which has had continuity. And that was undoubtedly successful in the final vote. This project to raise awareness and help refugee athletes was already one of the big ones for his personal goals and from today also among the nobility. “We recognize this award for the opportunity that athletes in conflict zones and places where human rights are violated to perform their sporting and personal activities,” the statement reads.
The jury for the prize, again chaired by former athlete Abel Antón – who was himself honored with this recognition in 1997, along with the Spanish marathon team – and consisted of athletes Theresa Zabell, María Paz Coordinas, Patricia García, Edurne Pasabán and Alberto Suárez , did not hesitate. Candidates the size of athlete Aliyson Felix, gymnast Simone Biles, pilots Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez and badminton star Carolina Marín have been excluded from the deliberations. One after another -25 candidatures, which were joined by some others presented by its members, reached a conclusion beyond doubt.

Despite the moments of uncertainty that preceded the deliberations both yesterday and this morning, the Covadonga room of the Hotel de la Reconquista has today become the epicenter of what should have been the news of the day: the award of the maximum reward to the foundation and the Olympic refugee team, which picks up the witness of Paralympic swimmer Teresa Perales. The candidacy was presented by Juan Antonio Samaranch Salisachs and supported by, among others, Paul Gasol and Roxana Maracineau, former deputy minister attached to the Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sports of France.
And not only because of the sporting merits they have acquired in recent years. Also for a social and solidarity issue much closer to the aim of the prize, endowed with 50,000 euros, a sculpture made and donated by Joan Miró and an accreditation diploma and badge.
