Damián Quintero had well-founded hopes of winning his first individual gold medal in a World Championship, but in the end he stayed in silver, as in the Olympic Games, and against the same rival. In 2016 and 2018 he also stayed behind Ryo.
-Is he deceased?
-I can only say that the third time has not been the charm in the World Cup, that I have tried, but it could not be; however, one cannot speak of disappointment with three silvers in a row.
-And in the year?
-Well, the same. Three silver medals in the three big tournaments is to stand out and be satisfied. In general, I think they are medals for our karate and we must be very proud.
-Are you satisfied?
-I have come to compete and feel good, and I think I have, and it has been noticed on the tatami. It has been a complicated year, very difficult, but with good results. I don’t have a triple crown, but I have three silver medals.
