The world on two wheels



For this interview I decided to talk with one of my best friends: Rodrigo Diaz Salazar, an Olympic level biker, he has participated in many competitions for almost 6 years so we asked him about his last participation in a biker’s Olympic games.
1.-Hello Rodrigo, first at all I want to thank you for accepting this interview, so you had this important competition and you got first place. ¿How did you feel when they give you your medal?
§ I was very happy and excited because I felt rewarded for my effort
2.-¿Did you have a hard training before the competition?
§You really have no idea *laughs*
3.-¿In what category were you?
§ I was in “Infantil Super Avanzada”
4.-Wow! I like the “super” part *laughs*, Afterwards you had a race at Pachuca, Hidalgo where you got third place ¿Did you feel happy or disappointed of this results?
§I would say I felt both happy and disappointed at the same time, because I got a good place but I feel I could have gotten first place with a little more effort
5.-That’s how a real biker would talk! *smiles*But let’s keep going with the topic, ¿Would there be a race soon?
§Yes, in fact there’s a race at Guanajuato next month *smiles*
6.-Well, good luck then!. But there’s a thing I would like to ask you, ¿What do you like the most about biking? ¿What makes you so passionate about this sport?
§Adrenaline, that’s the only word that can describe what I like about racing
7.-Is there any special comment that your coach has ever made to you?
§There are a lot that I can’t remember *laughs* but there is one I can perfectly remember, he told me: “To prove that you are getting better, when racing you must win with a difference of minutes, not seconds” since then I have been training with much more effort.
8.-That’s a good advice, so ¿Do you plan to keep doing biking until you become a professional?
§Of course! Biking is my passion, I won’t leave it aside *smiles*
With that last question we both said good bye not forgetting to thank him  for his attention
