Miriam Blasco, who voted against equal marriage, married the woman to whom she won the gold in the judo final of the Barcelona Olympics'92
GAYLES.TV.- There are stories that make good that maxim that reality always surpasses fiction and without a doubt this is one of those and deserves to be told. And it is that after his retirement from the high competition, Miriam Blasco was senator of the PP by Alicante, and went one of the 126 senators that the 22 of June of 2005, and when his sentimental partner was already another woman, voted against the law against the law of equal marriage.
Perhaps the younger people the name of Miriam Blasco do not tell them anything, although it may be that if they are women and athletes they sound something more and let's not say, if they are judokas they should have it on an altar. And is that Miriam Blasco was the first Spanish athlete who won the Olympic gold and did so now 25 years, in that Barcelona 1992 that shone before the whole world with a luxury Olympic Games and a Spanish medal which neither believed nor those who hung trophies around their necks.
31 July 1992 Miriam Blasco played the final against Nicola Fairbrother and when he won and climbed to the top of the podium, he gave the starting signal for a whole generation of women athletes who, in some way, told themselves they could, that they could. And the successes, the triumphs, the medals and the records for the Spanish feminine sport began. Although, in honor of the truth, we should not forget the bronze that a few months before had achieved Blanca Fernández Ochoa at the Winter Games in Albertville.
But what drives us today to write these lines is not the sporting career of Miriam Blasco, but rather the spark of love that emerged in that historic final and that led to those who were rivals on the mat to end up getting married. And is that as has made public the journalist María Escario the program "Focus" of TVE, Miriam Blasco and Nicola Fairbrother, after winning respectively gold and silver in Barcelona'92, began a sentimental relationship that culminated about a year and a half ago when they exchanged the metals and Miriam gave the gold ring to Nicola and the silver to his wife on the day of his wedding.
Surely Miriam had to give up gold gladly in exchange for the love that these days celebrate their silver wedding. We still do not understand your vote against egalitarian marriage. Anyway, congratulations mate, despite the incongruence!
