Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Queen Letizia has returned to Paris again to cheer on Spain’s Paralympians as they make their stand at the 2024 Summer Games.
Spain has a strong contingent at these Paralympics with 147 athletes representing the country across sixteen different sports, including Boccia, Paracanoeing, Paratriathlon, Wheelchair Basketball, and Wheelchair Tennis.
The Spanish queen looked very excited to watch her country’s men’s Wheelchair Basketball team face off against Australia. Spain left with a 68-60 victory, and Queen Letizia met with the team and coaching staff afterwards to congratulate them on their win.
Friday was a busy day, as Her Majesty then was able to met with cyclist and Men’s 1000m Time Trial Bronze Medalist Alfonso Cabella Llamas. She also watched the Men’s 3000M-CW Individual Pursuit Event where Eduardo Santas Asensio placed fourth.
As she did when she was in Paris earlier in the summer for the 2024 Summer Olympics with King Felipe, Queen Letizia went out of her way to meet with Spanish supporters and to spend time speaking with them about their time in Paris.
Queen Letizia also made time to speak with other Spanish Paralympians at the games, including Ara Aller Mayo who represented Spain on Thursday in the Boccia Individual Women- BC4.
