If Bernat Solà (Mataró, 1965) had been born in another country, perhaps a film would have been made about him. For more than a decade, this man from the Maresme region carved out a place for himself among the world's best springboard divers. Despite the lack of a strong tradition in the sport, Solà participated in two Winter Olympic Games and led strikes to defend athletes' rights. Suffering falls and living far from home, he earned the respect of foreign divers in a sport that, just as he retired, disappeared in Spain. Now nobody dives in Catalonia. In part, because there are no more springboards left in the Pyrenees.
