“I’m going to the Olympic Games”. Using this quote as a title for his column in Spanish newspaper Marca, Pau Gasol announced that he will be in Rio with the Spanish national team.
After a long period of uncertainty, mainly because of the Zika virus threat, regarding his presence in the Olympic Games, the mighty Spaniard finally confirmed that he will join his country’s efforts to once again climb the podium in the greatest sports event of the planet.
This will be the fourth Olympic tournament in Pau Gasol’s career. He has been a two-times silver medalist with the “Furia Roja”, in Beijing 2008 and London 2012, while he has also played in the Olympic Games of Athens, in 2004.
