A gold olympic medal is so hard!!!

 

Before going to the Olympic Games, or any kind of tournament, estimations are made about how many medals will be won, regardless of all the other contenders.

 

Then when we face the reality we see how hard it is to succeed, even for the strongest athletes or teams. 

 

All things considered, we will appreciate more what María Pérez and Álvaro Martin achieved (do you know the sport they practise?), and the same with our men's football national team!
