The Pyrenees Games … and Barcelona, ​​by Sergi Sol

Barcelona is the best showcase for the Pyrenees Games. And, to a large extent, its best asset.

If you really want the Pyrenees host the Winter Olympics By 2030 we must put the Barcelona brand at the forefront. For many and diverse reasons that are obvious, but that seem to be ignored with local grievances that they only encourage outdated victimhood. The worst thing about envy is that it hits the one who suffers it more than the one who suffers from it.

Along with Madrid, maybe even more, the Catalan capital is the most seductive metropolis from southern Europe. It is the capital of the Mediterranean par excellence. But in addition, Barcelona has an ace without equal, having organized those that continue to be considered the best games in history. That Barcelona of Maragall left an everlasting imprint.

like Barcelona, Barcelona is powerful, the Manolos sang, and it has remained for the Olympism as a synonym of guarantee, of proven solvency. And that counts to his credit not only as a cover letter, it counts as a factor that can be decisive in the culminating moment. In the final decision, when only the candidacies that have survived the cuts of the successive votes remain.

When up to five times you have failed, proclaiming that without you we are nothing not only provokes hilarity other people’s, including their own as soon as the situation is objectified.

Nobody in those previous five failed occasions had such an attitude, nobody thought of raising the election in terms that projected so much frustration and grievance as impotence. It is logical that they end up thinking –and imposing– the thesis of ‘better alone than in bad company’.

The Pyrenees can be a strong contender for the Olympics if it improves previous proposals. And above all, if he does it with Barcelona at the head as the watchword. Therefore, all generosity is possible. And even empowering and complementary to a candidacy with the mark of being the chosen one.

But if you have to compare the candidacy with the suspicion and the complaint of part as a companion of wanderings, it is better to get rid of it. AND direct without further ado a candidacy for the Games that gives the Pyrenees all the final protagonism with Barcelona as the international hitch pennant.
