OKDIARIO received a commemorative plaque from the Spanish Olympic Committee after its great coverage of the last Olympic Games in Paris where this media was present in the 18 medals won by the Spanish delegation. The event took place at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee and brought together many visible faces of the profession.
Actually, More than 250 journalists and photographers from 50 media outlets traveled to the French capital to recount in detail the exploits and successes of the national athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A rigorous work that has allowed the Spanish results to reach every corner of our country.
For this reason, the Spanish Olympic Committee wanted to recognize, through an act of homage, the great effort, dedication and professionalism demonstrated by all Spanish journalists, photographers and media during the Paris 2024 Games.
In his speech, the president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco, wanted to highlight the work done by everyone: “Thank you for the passion with which you transmit and tell the story of the greatest sporting event in the world. And as Pierre de Coubertin said: if there were no media and if there were no journalists, there would be no spectators in the stadiums. Successes have a legacy because there are people who tell them and who tell them well.
“Since Tokyo 2020, a complicity has been created because we all want the best for Spanish sport and this is transmitted to society.”. Because you know that if something adds and does not subtract, it is Spanish sport. And for it to transcend, you are there. Thank you for what you do. I wish you the best in journalism and in life, “he concluded.
As a token of recognition, the Olympic entity wished to present a commemorative diploma to each of the accredited persons, as well as a plaque to each media outlet.
