Flag bearer of the national team in Tokyo, multiple Paralympic medalist in swimming and with bronze in cycling, world and European champion… The career of Ricardo Ten It is to a unique athlete, who is one of the greatest Paralympic figures in the history of Spain. After making his debut at the Games in Atalanta 1996, the Valencian arrived in Paris after a cycle in which he once again showed his talent and courage to be one of the best on the track and on the road.
“I also did not expect my career at the Paralympic Games, I made my debut as a swimmer in Atlanta and then came this gift, cycling. We are going for my second Games as a cyclist 28 years after my first participation. For me, pressure is not a risk and my experience will benefit me. It’s a gift and I’m going to Paris with the utmost enthusiasm,” said Ten.
“Tokyo Very good, said the brands, although it is true that we came from a cycle full of victories and we hope to have that metal reward in an individual test,” said the Valencian about his first participation as a cyclist in Tokyo , where he won the bronze medal with Alfonso Cabello and Pablo Jaramillo in team speed.
Ten, who once again completed a heavy Paralympic cycle with many medals both on the track and on the road, set a clear goal to get to the podium, the road time trial: “We set a very clear goal that which is the time trial on September 4. We have improved the material, we have made a huge set-up in this discipline, but we also see ourselves with options in track trials, both at 3 km and at speed of the team; We will fight to the maximum, we know that the differences will be minimal and we will fight for those medals that I think are within our reach.”
“We arrived in Paris in the best shape, very good. We know how to organize everything so that we can reach this moment in the best possible way,” said the Valencian, always ambitious, affirming that “in the test of time we will emerge with the highest ambitions. I hope we can realize all that work and all that effort in a medal, which will be very important for everyone around me, my team, the Federation, the sponsors, the Committee, in the family… It’s wonderful,” he concluded.
