Geopolitics always determines the Olympic medal table. The common denominator that unites 10 of the first 11 countries on the Pars 2024 schedule is that they are the countries with the most economic (and in many cases political) weight on the planet. The exception, as opposed to not including India, is Passos Bagos, whose excellence policy – implantable in Spain-which excludes athletes who have achieved the place if they do not have final options, has formed a sports system that has been thought of as a large private company. It applies to protected areas, without territorial tensions, with a population of 17 million people, which is two and a half times less than our protected areas.
Also interesting , and equally unattainable, is the case of New Zealand, In the 12th position, the protected areas are equipped with a cross-section structure of coaches who share knowledge among peers and with their geographical community, to which the first fruits of a 12-year plan (2020-2032) of the national sports policy with its simple vision that all its citizens are active should be added. However, in both cases, the decrease was significant.
Spain ends with 18 medals , one more than Ro 2016 and Tokyo 2020 – and the same as in London 2012 before the redistribution of the two medals- And in fifteenth place in the medal table. Without coincidences, it is the same position that it occupies in the volumes of gross domestic products on the planet. They are perceived as they are in their numbers. But expectations, based on real numbers, and not on sensations, prevent any kind of euphoria. The result, according to forecasts, is bad.
In 2023, 63 medals were achieved at the world and European Championships, when the number barely reached 40 at other recent games. This prompted analysts and leaders to agree on the possibility of access to Barcelona. It was not possible to continue the race for 18 medals as if the Spanish sport was stagnant.
With the Liga de ochtbol as an economic engine, contributing 113 million to the Consejo Superior de Deportes Through solidarity funds, the novelty of this cycle was the creation of Team Spain, a highly qualified program that sought to increase the details that separate Spanish athletes from the forces.
Carolina Marn team-for the need to hire Asian sparring and keep them for long periods- And other cutting-edge methods proposed by Fernando Rivas, his coach, the introduction of algorithms, artificial intelligence, big data tops the list of investments. In the analysis, despite the athlete’s injury, the result should be evaluated as if it were a medal. I would have done it before smashing on the leg. And in the end they worked out an exclusive plan to beat the Korean.
Also the anti-algae temn of the male K-4 of rowing was another reflection of this plan that the Supreme Sports Council IDE And that Pedro Sanchez’s delay in extending budgets caused delays in reaching the federations. They are corrected with credits, the interests of which are borne by interested parties. In total, about 409 million were invested for the sports preparation of the Olympic federations in a house with three different ministers of State at this session. And they were all rebound participants, with no knowledge beyond mere amateurs. Even in a capricious decision of Victor Frankos he was changed to Deputy Director of high competition of the CSD in the middle of the workout.
With 393 participants, 190 men and 193 women-applied -, of which 150 were team sports, which, in addition, were added by pairs, It reduces the objective possibilities of medals to about 220, and Spain, in addition to 18 metals, has collected 51 diplomas – places from fourth to eighth-with nine fourth places. The analysis requires depth, but a priori there are good harvest fields in some sports. Especially in athletics, where he took fifth place in the medal table for the segment, better than ever, ahead of such powers as Jamaica, Ethiopia and Great Britain. Also boxing, with the medals of job and Priz PLA, embodying the new and enriched Spanish reality. Below what there were others like canoeing and taekwondo, where many options are assumed. There are chronic and difficult to explain conditions such as swimming in the pool. This federation was saved by technical medals-critical of the Federation’s behavior -, the Great Gold of women’s water polo and the impressive growth of jumping on the springboard with 88 licenses, which fit on an articulated bus.
It also influences the study that with the exception of Carlos Alcaraz and Sal Craviotto and men’s football, The stars that all the employees of careerella know, the ones with which they immediately get acquainted with the Olympic rings, went on vacation.
The emotional impact is indisputable. Spain managed to overcome the ceiling and could have done it with some ease. “There is no luck in sports,”they say in the commission on Sustainable Development. “But this is bad luck. And this time he was there.”Now, some days, the model will be questioned, the federal representative system will be asked for resignations, comparisons with the countries of the environment and another social Civil War will begin between those who “have already seen it” and analysts who believe that the work will eventually materialize. It lasted a week until football overshadows everything in the suburbs of Los Angeles 2028.
The fan is confused by a combination that is getting worse , because the Spanish Olympic Committee is the Olympic image, not the CSD – Thomas Bach has already mentioned Pilar Allegra-but she has no competence either in funds or in important decisions, the pessimistic speech of “nothing will change”will be fixed. However, although it failed the first time, the plan does not look bad. Just because it was a huge failure the first time, does not mean that mistakes continue over time. After 32 years passed from Barcelona among the inertia, to Sydney, and a simple tone, so far, the wait for four more does not seem long.
Team Spain, created to add excellence to the work of federations-private entities before which the CSD cannot intervene-, That’s what buries the” cafe for everyone”thing. We miss a lot of spin-offs, which makes models like Australia and low lanes great, but it’s a good tool for mastering everyday unions. There was money in this course and it doesn’t seem logical to go to see the pockets of the environmental corridors either. Investing in other areas such as education or health is probably more necessary than investing in two weeks every four years.
