There is less than a month left before the Paris Games beginan event in which Spain will attend its largest delegation since Barcelona’92 and with medal options in many sports.
One of the metal candidates is, without a doubt, Ana Peleteiro. The Galician athlete, bronze medalist at Tokyo 2020, will arrive in the French capital full of joy after being crowned champion at the last European Championships in Rome. “The more pressure or focus is placed on me, the better things will go for me. I have my feet on the ground, but I like that people trust me. It is a factor that benefits me” he declared in an interview with TVE .
