"From January to July I have almost no private life"

  • Pastor Fighter and Pastor Wrestler.

I don’t want to imagine how many “smart” comments you would hear from the beginning!

I think I've silenced them for the last four years. However, these comments affect you what you let them attack you. If I had heeded them, I wouldn't have been a wrestler... Not a pastor!

And now you're one of the few athletes selling cheeses at merchandising.

I'm clear what my business is, what my base of life is. It's hard to imagine that behind a wrestler can be a pastor. Yes, between January and July I have almost no private life: at the end of the job the sport begins and at the end of the sport the work.

Don't say you also live in the bubble of elite athletes.

If you only have sports friends, eat and sleep with sports people... What happens when it hurts or you don't have a result? Who delights you with the feeling of loneliness and failure?

The athlete knows to suffer, to sacrifice...

The ability to sacrifice is related to education. If you've been given everything by hand, if you haven't been taught that things happen little by little and at the expense of effort, it's in vain. Let's see if the crisis changes mindsets, if not, here the high level will disappear.

The one who has disappeared from the media is your sport!

After the Beijing Olympic Games, it gave me tremendous anger. Now I know that this is true, that we live in the media every four years, that we are doomed to great accomplishments, and when that happens, that we have to wait for the next Olympics.

A more beautiful sentence than a medal...

A medal changes everything. I intended to be a mother, but at least one more year I will keep fighting. I'm in a whirlwind, I'm told to leave and don't leave, but I'd rather wait, breathe and let my thinking happen.

Leave it or not, you will always be the ambassador of the struggle of Euskal Herria!

I have opened the way, I have the medal, but I have no other goal than to tell my experiences and bring them closer to people. Because of that, if people like our sport and want to try it, they know where to go.

Will you teach him what it costs to be stuffed?

The stubbornness to deal with all the obstacles that have arisen along the way has been one of my indispensable virtues. Without stubbornness, he had long said, “To the devil, to take the wind!”
