“I would never have imagined that having a daughter could mark my end at Sabadell”. The words of Maica García, published on social media on September 7th, left behind more than three decades of defending the colors of the Vallesan entity. Club Natació Sabadell had not renewed her contract, a decision that the player linked to her recent motherhood, but which the club attributed to “strictly sporting criteria”. Currently, García is already training with CN Sant Andreu, with the goal of participating in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. This story has once again brought to the table an issue that elite sports have not yet finished resolving: the place of motherhood in a sports career.
