The boxer from Tarrasa
listened to the anthem with his hand on his heart and his eyes full of tears
.
It is not the first time that the Royal March with Pemán's lyrics has sounded at a medal ceremony with the Spanish champion.
The badminton player Carolina Marín in one of her world titles, the one in 2015, or Alberto Contador when he won the Giro in 2011, among others, had to listen to the wrong anthem.
