Irene remembers that experience as a turning point that not only influenced her, but also resonated in the world of adapted sports.
“I felt very fortunate to meet Queen Sofia at that significant moment. Her presence was a symbol of support and motivation for all athletes, and I believe she will continue to do so,” expresses Irene, who carries with her the memory of that day.
Queen Sofia’s New Challenges
Currently, Queen Sofia is scheduled to attend various sporting events in Paris to cheer on Spanish athletes. However, the recent loss of her uncle Michael has altered her plans, forcing her to travel to Greece to participate in the funeral, adding a tinge of sadness to her upcoming engagements.
