This Friday, the Spanish delegation had one of its most complicated days in Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. It more than solved it, because it added two bronze medals allowing it to be at the threshold of a total of forty.
They are thirty-eight official medals added, accompanied by another surety from Ander Cepas in table tennis waiting to be colored. Therefore, the fight to reach that round figure is more real than ever and two days are left ahead to try to surpass that figure.
All after a day that started with an epic bronze at one of the Games’ legendary facilities. Dani Caverzaschi and Martín de la Puente won the bronze medal in doubles in wheelchair tennis after defeating Frenchmen Frédéric Cattaneo and Stéphane Houdet 4-6, 6-4 and 10-5 in a spectacular atmosphere at Roland Garros. With the French public dedicated to them, they knew how to adapt to achieve a return for history: they achieved the first medal for Spanish tennis at the Paralympic Games.
A few minutes later came the second bronze of the day. Marta Arce achieved this at 57 kg in the J2 category in judo after defeating Brazilian Lucia da Silva Teixeira by ippon. In this way, he extended his legend to the Paralympic Games. Arce has two silvers and two bronzes, but her last medal came at London 2012. More than a decade later and after becoming a mother, she is once again among the best.
