Overview
UN ABANICO DE CLAROSCUROS PARA RECORDARNOS QUE LOS MEXICANOS SABEMOS GANAR, NO SIN ANTES SUFRIR Y LLORAR, PERO SIEMPRE DE LOS SIEMPRES FESTEJAR.
No hay dolor sin gloria; no hay luz sin oscuridad. Estas páginas recorren 30 historias tan trágicas como gloriosas de deportistas y equipos. Desde los que ganaron sus batallas a pesar de la escasez de oportunidades, la presión social y sus graves lesiones, hasta quienes —cabizbajos— desfilaron por las derrotas más amargas y dolorosas.
Aquí figuran medallistas olímpicas como la ciclista Belem Guerrero y la halterófila Soraya Jiménez; la final legendaria América vs. Pumas de la temporada 1990-1991; Joaquín Capilla, el cuatro veces medallista olímpico quien, aunque tuvo temporadas abatido por la soledad, la depresión y las adicciones, pudo redimirse.
Forjados por la afición y la pasión que caracterizan a los mexicanos, Francisco Javier González, comentarista deportivo, y Alejandro Rosas, divulgador de la historia, nos traen esta epopeya del deporte.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A spectrum of light and shadow that reminds us Mexicans know how to win—after suffering, after tears, but always ready to celebrate.
There is no pain without glory; no light without darkness. These pages present 30 stories as tragic as they are inspiring, featuring athletes and teams. From those who triumphed despite limited opportunities, social pressure, and serious injuries, to those who—heads bowed—endured the most bitter and painful defeats.
Featured are Olympic medalists such as cyclist Belem Guerrero and weightlifter Soraya Jiménez; the legendary América vs. Pumas final of the 1990–1991 season; and Joaquín Capilla, the four-time Olympic medalist who, despite periods marked by loneliness, depression, and addiction, ultimately found redemption.
Shaped by the passion and devotion that define Mexican fans, Francisco Javier González, sports commentator, and Alejandro Rosas, historian, bring us this powerful sports epic.
