One of Marc Gasol’s ideas when landing in Girona, first as president and then as a player, has always been to expand the project. Both at a social level and at a sporting level, since in recent years the number of teams that compete under the colors of Basquet Girona have been increasing. And, as he explained in an interview with AS, incorporating a women’s team was “a priority.” They already existed at the base, but now there is a senior women’s team. In basketball 3×3.
And the ambition of the center of Sant Boi is great. So much so that he has signed the national team of this discipline: Marta Canella, Vega Gimeno, Aitana Cuevas and Sandra Ygueravide. Now they will be part of Basquet Girona, something that can change their sports careers: “We have always played with the National Team because no brave man, like Marc now, was committed to this discipline. It’s a huge change for us.. Now we will be able to play more matches and tournaments and that will make us better. It gives us options to go to the Olympics. The competition, which starts in the summer, is divided into three circuits (Catalan, Spanish and FIBA) that will alternate in search of the best events to complete their calendar.
Marc Gasol, president of the club, assured that “it has cost” to have the four players in Girona and that it is something “very special for me and for the club”. An entity “that is growing very fast” and that seeks with this team (the men’s 3×3 already exists) to continue expanding.
Regarding the difference with traditional basketball, the players affirmed that “it is much faster, dynamic… There are many differences. People who see it for the first time are more easily hooked. It’s harder, more intense… We all agree that it’s more fun and exciting”.
