Iconic Olympic sporting gesture recognised at Spanish awards ceremony

Madrid, Nov 15 (UNI) Spanish badminton player Carolina Marin and her Chinese counterpart, He Bingjiao were reunited for the first time after their semifinal clash in the Paris Olympic Games at the 'Relevo x Change' awards ceremony in Madrid on Thursday night.
The Olympic semifinal ended in agony for Marin as she tore her cruciate knee ligament. The Chinese player went on to win the silver medal, and then showed her solidarity with Marin when she wore a Spanish badge on her tracksuit in the medal ceremony in what has become an example of sporting behavior and mutual respect.
That example of sporting behavior brought the pair together again in Madrid on Thursday in a ceremony, attended by Spain's Minister for Education, Training and Sport, Pilar Alegria which aims to "find the best ambassadors, who through the most noble values, help to improve society."
