Paloma del Río retires the week in which women’s sport is most talked about, for better or for worse. It can’t be a coincidence. Rather than retire, she prefers to talk about disassociating herself from RTVE, because stopping is not in her plans. Her agenda informs him of several conferences on her great passions: minority and women’s sports, and three prizes await her to collect. She will also have more time for her mosaics and her painting by colors, like those children’s drawings but in paintings by established painters. She no longer has a wall to put them on but what matters to her, what relaxes her, is the process.
On Sunday, she said goodbye to the headsets more emotional than she had anticipated, surrounded by a massive ovation and hand in hand with her inseparable Almudena Cid. She returned the company to him at the time of her professional goodbye: «Among the many things that athletes have taught me is knowing when to retire and how to do it. You cannot go from full occupancy to going to the supermarket. The phone has not stopped vibrating, between social networks and calls. Everyone wants to say goodbye to Paloma del Río.
