Teresa Portela, subcampeona olímpica de K1 en los Juegos de Tokio, ha denunciado el abandono de la Federación Española de piragüismo, después de que hayan pasado varios meses sin que se haya puesto en marcha el equipo femenino, motivo por el que la gallega tampoco tiene entrenador.
Portela, la primera deportista española en competir en siete Juegos Olímpicos, llevaba entrenando a las órdenes de Daniel Brage desde 2009. En octubre de 2021, la Federación, con el presidente Pedro Pablo al mando de la RFEP, llevó a cabo una planificación para reflotar el K4 femenino y para ello, con Teresa Portela en el centro, formó una embarcación, cuyo entrenador pasó a ser Brage. “Era un proyecto a largo plazo, con idea de llegar a Los Angeles 2028, así me lo comunicaron en su momento”, asegura Teresa Portela a MARCA. “Al final llegamos a París, donde fuimos sextas con el K4 y ahora teóricamente el proyecto debía seguir”.
Sin embargo, en octubre arrancó el trabajo con el K4 masculino, pero no con el femenino. A partir de ese momento, con Brage ya fuera del equipo nacional y, por tanto, en el trabajo que tenía antes de dirigir a Teresa, la gallega se encontró sin entrenador. “He estado trabajando sola, para no perder la forma”, explica a MARCA Portela. “A quien preguntaba para cuándo el equipo nacional femenino me remitía a las elecciones”, que tuvieron que repetirse por un recurso presentado por José Alfredo Bea García.
No me voy a presentar porque no he entrenado en las condiciones óptimas y mínimas que requiere una temporada con un objetivo tan ambicioso como es luchar por estar en un Europeo o en un Mundial
Sin entrenador estos meses, la preparación de Portela se ha visto afectada y en los próximos días se celebran los primeros selectivos, en los que la palista gallega no competirá. “No me voy a presentar porque no he entrenado en las condiciones óptimas y mínimas que requiere una temporada con un objetivo tan ambicioso como es luchar por estar en un Europeo o en un Mundial”, dice Portela. “Además, creo que tendría que ser una competición abierta, la más rápida gana y ya está. Pero en la que pudiéramos participar todas, no sólo las palistas que se encuentran concentradas en Sevilla”.
“Soy piragüista, pero también madre. Hablan mucho de conciliación, pero después no dan opciones
Así, Portela hace hincapié en que los problemas de conciliación siguen existiendo. “Soy piragüista, pero también madre. Hablan mucho de conciliación, pero después no dan opciones”, explica. “Este año ya no tengo opción, pero el proyecto que nació en 2021 era a largo plazo, hasta Los Angeles, y en Galicia”, aclara la palista, que asegura sentirse “tranquila, pero también poco valorada después de lo conseguido durante tantos años”.
No es un momento fácil, quizás de decepción y/o sorpresa
En un comunicado posterior colgado en sus redes, Portela aseguró que “no es un momento fácil, quizás de decepción y/o sorpresa y es que durante los últimos meses he preferido no pronunciarme públicamente, priorizando mi bienestar y tratando de no afectar a otras personas con mi situación, desde el respeto y la responsabilidad”.
También agradeció “públicamente a la Xunta de Galicia y al Secretario Xeral para el Deporte, por su escucha y por el apoyo; intentando poner solución a esta situación en el mes de marzo”.
Y la palista mira hacia el futuro. “La vida está llena de retos y cada uno nos impulsa hacia el siguiente, por ello sigo entrenando, pretendiendo mantener la ilusión, en busca de un nuevo reto. Quiero afrontarlo desde un inicio con nuevos objetivos, desafiantes y motivadores, que me permitan seguir disfrutando de mi carrera profesional y de la oportunidad de representar nuevamente a España, con orgullo”.

Análise: Pedro e Arrascaeta reconduzem Flamengo à liderança em goleada irretocável que lembra melhores dias
O Maracanã viveu ontem uma destas tardes que fez a torcida do Flamengo se lembrar de que o time é um dos principais — senão o principal — favoritos da temporada. O 4 a 0 (fora o baile) sobre o Corinthians, pela 6ª rodada do Brasileirão, ainda traz certo alívio após a equipe de Filipe Luís oscilar nos últimos jogos. E, por fim, devolve o rubro-negro à liderança do campeonato, superando o Palmeiras, que perdeu para o Bahia por 1 a 0 em casa. Pedro, titular e cada vez melhor fisicamente, marcou duas vezes e foi o nome da goleada irretocável, fruto de uma avalanche ofensiva iniciada por Everton Cebolinha e Arrascaeta. Essa foi a primeira vez que o camisa 9 iniciou uma partida desde que voltou da grave lesão no joelho esquerdo. Substituído apenas aos 34 minutos do segundo […]

Mandatory Credit: Michael McLoone-Imagn Images Milwaukee Bucks star guard Damian Lillard exited Sunday night's home playoff game against the Indiana Pacers with a potentially serious lower left leg injury. Lillard was hurt while seeking a long offensive rebound and he fell to the floor while tapping the ball forward shortly before the midway point of the first quarter. He immediately grabbed for his lower left leg and was unable to get up. Milwaukee's Brook Lopez committed a foul with 5:57 left in the quarter to stop play and trainers then attended to Lillard. He eventually was helped off the court while […]

Downing-Imagn Images Former Colorado superstar quarterback and NFL Draft survivor Shedeur Sanders had to deal with a pretty public prank call during his dramatic slide this weekend. Sanders, who was projected to be a mid-to-late first-round draft pick, fell into Day 2, where he still wasn’t selected. On Friday evening, during a livestream, Sanders was prank called in a viral video that was clipped and widely shared on social media. For whatever reason, the prank callers elected to share a video of their stunt online. It took internet sleuths all of five minutes to identify one of the individuals in the video as Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old son of Atlanta Falcons defensive […]
