The reference of Michael Phelps It is very hidden for any swimmer and for him it could not be less. He wants to match the king of the world Olympics.
He, more than anyone else, set himself a challenge. He, more than anyone, suffered on his way to the Paris Paralympic Games. A serious problem with the left shoulder He compromised his great dream more than ever. But if Teresa Perales has shown anything, it is that she always gets up. Always.

After a category change Living in recent times, the difficulty of the challenge was greater for Perales, who had a problem with his left shoulder that reduced his mobility in this part of the body and caused him more difficulties on his way to Paris. But Teresa never failed, despite physical problems, category changes and constant problems.
Undisputed reference of Spanish sport and leader of the Paralympic movementThe last 50 back S8 This Saturday, his trial, aroused the highest expectations in Paris. With a stand with many Spanish flags and a deafening atmosphere, Teresa Perales had a great response to a great challenge. Because in the morning he was far from the benchmarks, but in the afternoon he grew like never before and finished almost always throughout his career: among the best.
His 1:10.95 is sports history. This time earned him a bronze medal behind the 1:05.99 where the swimmer from Singapore Pin by Xiu Yipa great favorite for gold, was proclaimed champion. Silver went to Mexican Haide Viviana Aceves in 1:08.96.
From behind, with a dizzying return to the last part of the pool, Perales took the bronze by just two hundred points. This was the season in which she surpassed Italian Angela Procida at the wall touch, clocking 1:10.97.
Teresa got off to a good start, fighting for second through fourth place. But gives ground to the advancement of meters to remain in fourth position. Indeed, the habit of his career seems more marked to lose tenths than to gain them.
But Perales did magic again. In the final few astronomical metres, the Spaniard regained ground to return to the fight for bronze. With a painful finish he caught up with Procida and, with the whole stand pushing the strange atmospherehe got those two hundred which gave him the bronze medal.
