Alexander Whitepresident of the Spanish Olympic Committee, said Monday that the former Cantabrian athlete Ruth Beitia “is not just a champion or a star, but she is a legend” of Spanish sport and ensured that his “figure, with each passing day, gets bigger”.
Ruth Beitia received at the headquarters of the Spanish Olympic Committee the high jump bronze medal of the London 2012 Gamesawarded to her nine years later, in 2021, after the disqualification of Russian Svetlana Shkolina.
“There are two types of people, the maker of history and those who watch it. You make history that tells how it happened and history should be valued, understood, disseminated and revived ”, Blanco said, when presenting the medal to Ruth Beitia.
“You are a truly privileged person. Those hits make you fall in love with everyone. You have projects, illusions and a clear goal. You are a chosen one and that is very difficult. You are not just a star or a champion, but a legend of Spanish sport with values and a successful athlete, ”he said.
“Every day your figure grows. We are witnessing a moment of continuous evolution that we sometimes cannot measure. You have natural talent but that talent requires work, discipline, respect, love and resilience. You are a great example of clean sport. “
“You are a person with charisma who shows it in everything you do. The second stage has now arrived but you have to be the narrator of your own story. Spain needs people like you. Think about what is behind you and what you have done for Spanish sport. We have an obligation to follow you wherever you are. Champions take time, records are broken, but legends don’t end. ”
