Hockey took a mark from tennis that it maintained for nearly 40 years.The Lionesses reached another Olympic podium, and with the bronze medal, Zoe Diaz, the youngest player in the stick and pot delegation, managed to break the record set by Gabriela Sabatini.
18 years and 70 days before his birthIn Argentina, Zoe Diaz De ArmasAt that moment, there didn’t seem to be much to grasp, But as she grew older, she began to see that it would be different.. A person is different not because he had something but because of what he did with what he had.Zoe realized from an early age that sports was her passion.There he found a place for entertainment and fun that was not easy to find outside the field. Diaz, in parallel with his enjoyment, generated disparity among his peers, So much so that there were rumours in the corridors of his Italian club that there was a young woman who would get people talking in the future.…and it was not just the hustle and bustle of a dwelling, it was evident that he had approached the small field at Ristra 2770 – where Tanu was used as a place – to witness with his own eyes that this murmur carried the truth.
The anticipation was so high that when the first section was stormed, While wreaking havoc on his rivals, what he offered the viewer was not great because they had become accustomed to it for many years.

The growth of tennis, and women’s sports in Argentina, was partly built by Gabi, and left as a result of the generations that lived them. Before. And today, 36 years later, without much awareness and carelessness on the court, Zoe Diaz de las Armas has entered the Olympus of athletes.
