Teresa Portela facing the end of K1 200 meters as a new opportunity to add an Olympic medal.
With metals in world and European championships, the Olympic podium is the only one that resists Galician and this time could not change history as he finished in sixth place.
An Olympic diploma has great merit but that does not serve Portela to complete and close a record that is spectacular even without her Olympic medal.
It was the fifth Games for canoeist UCAM fronting the test with a good feeling because both the series and the semifinals had obtained classification clearly.
When final, the favorite did not give option to rest and medals (Lisa Carrington, gold Walczykiewicz Marta, silver and Inna Osipenko-Rodomska, bronze) were distributed.
Portela, who had a good start, failed to engage the fight for the medals in the final meters and lost steam and dropped to sixth place.
An Olympic diploma, although not the medal to which he aspired, has great merit.
