Adrián Alonso, recognized beyond the track: candidate for the Princess of Girona Award

ODYTA Summary

Spanish speed skating has news that goes far beyond results, medals and championships. Adrián Alonso has been selected as the male representative of Castilla y León to be considered for the Princess of Girona Award for the Values of Young Athletes, a recognition aimed at athletes under 23 years of age. The candidacy was announced on Sunday, September 20, and represents an important recognition for the young skater, not only for his sporting career but also for the values he represents within and outside competition. Alonso is also having a particularly outstanding season; among his most recent results is the silver medal won in the marathon at the Taranto 2026 Mediterranean Games, confirming his growth within the international speed skating scene. However, this candidacy focuses on a different dimension of the athlete: effort, perseverance, commitment and the values he conveys through sport. For Spanish speed skating, having an athlete among the candidates for a recognition of this kind is also an opportunity to continue giving visibility to a discipline that continues to grow on and off the tracks. Rollerzone congratulated Alonso on the candidacy, which recognizes not only his sporting career but also everything he represents as a young athlete. The source was La Tribuna de Valladolid.
