Pau Gasol demanded that the political side be left to the Spanish candidacy

Date:

former basketball player Pau Gasolan IOC member, asked that put politics aside for the sake of developing the Spanish candidacy for Winter Games of 2030 where “sport and country interest” dominate.

Gasol admitted that he was following the negotiations “with minimal frustration” when seeing “differences exist”which he attributed “maybe misunderstanding”.
