The podcast the substitutes reaches its final episode of the third season with the presence of a world athletic legend: Javier Sotomayor.
In this talk, the iconic high jumper shares anecdotes and reflections on its extraordinary race, marked by world records and both unforgettable and controversial moments.
With humility, Sotomayor reveals that, despite the adversities, he always found support in those who believed in their innocence and talent, referring to the positive ones for supposedly having consumed cocaine (1999) and Nandrolona (2002).
Sotomayor confessed to feel happy for having lived “the best time of height jump” and affirms that while he was active he gave everything for the sport, a sacrifice that crowned with a gold medal in the Olympic Games of Barcelona 92, his first title under the five hoops after having lost the appointment of Seoul 88, due to political reasons that escaped from his hands.
Throughout the talk, the legendary athlete mentions his idols and the importance of having a solid environment that supported him in his way to success. At a culminating moment of the episode, Javier reveals if he would like to witness a jump that breaks his world brand of 2.45 meters.
