louiseluxI was watching this clip of Rafa listening to Ingrid Betancourt's speech at the Prince of Asturias award and wondering why he looked so much like he might cry.
From Rafa's website:
Rafa Nadal of Spain received this year’s Award for Sports and the Prince of Asturias for Concord went to Franco-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt. She spent more than six years as a FARC hostage in the Colombian jungle.
Ingrid shared a beautiful memory of her "listening to the radio for years following Rafa's matches". She "could only hear the ball as he played and sometimes got to hear his voice'.
"Being able to share this night with him face to face is a beautiful testament to life"
