The Spanish Olympic Committee, in an act in collaboration with Banco de Santander (partner in sustainability), recognized yesterday in Madrid the media work during the recent Tokyo Olympics, held in exceptional circumstances due to the pandemic.
Vicente Jiménez, director of AS, received the award for coverage from Alejandro Banco, president of the COE, and Felipe del Campo, director of sponsorships of Banco de Santander. The team of special envoys from AS to Tokyo was made up of Jesús Mínguez, Juan Jiménez, Juanma Bellón, Santiago Castañeda, Alberto Martínez, Sergio Santos, Jesús Rubio and Miguel Ángel Morenatti.
“I say it convinced: in Tokyo there were 17 medals. Yours is 18. For representing Spanish sport. We speak with pride about athletes, technicians, referees …, but also about the press. It is a very important day for me, because you support the Spanish Olympic Committee, Spanish sport, athletes and Spain, “said Blanco.
