It is common to see professional athletes playing video games in their spare time. It turns out that a bronze medalist from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris also has a bronze in League of Legends.

On August 1, Spanish athlete Pau Echaniz competed in the slalom-canoe-K-1 final at the Olympic Games in Paris. With a time of 88.87 seconds, he won the bronze medal, behind Titouan Castryck and Giovanni De Gennaro from France and Italy. A few days later, on August 5, Echaniz shared on X that he is also a League player with a rank corresponding to the medal he won in Paris.

In his post, Echaniz made a hilarious statement. "Don't get on a canoe until I get gold," he wrote, according to Google Translator. Well, we hope he escapes the Bronze rank soon. Maybe if Echaniz reaches new heights in the League, he can secure a gold medal at the Olympics? We certainly hope so.
