Brigitte Yagüe, history that few know (2part)

In many parts of the world and gave Brigitte Yague and removing tracks, but prior to the World Championships in Denmark 2009 news that you would be the owner is known, How did that happen?

I really wanted, many. He had returned to training was really very little, hand was working, was still a little scary but it seemed that things progressed well. In total trained three months for the World and had only one previous competition (Open the Manchester), but the will do it all. Keep in mind that I never stopped training completely, the physical part always worked so I was fine in that aspect, it was that I needed Taekwondo, but it was not too bad.

It was the debut of Electronic Dickies, How do you sat that?

Very well, Taekwondo was always, because at that time even fought as ever, Dickies but with marked points and it really worked out well.

You were going to fight until the fight gold, How was?

Exactly so, IBA passing fighting combat, I never thought that I'd leave World Champion in that event, apart had no pressure, It was very quiet.

Do not you think you could leave champion?

Not, I just went to fight and see how the hand, again to enter competition, preparing the London Cycle, because actually the reason for my return was attempting to return to the Olympics, and as I went for it really, I took the World Championship as a training ready to start the year 2010.

Brigitte to dedicate World Champion for the third time. Copenhagen 2009.

And how did you feel when leaving World Champion?

When I came out of World Champion for me was how to make me see myself that I could still and still there, I was not finished, that the failure was classified at the time somewhat sporadic, so that helped me to prove it was still competitive.

And what felt difference between this and other previous title?

I felt that now was a matter of showing myself I could and had to be constantly before showing it to others. A Championship for the first time this came without pressure, It was a relief. Login to try things, enjoy, that was something that had never before been able to do, so I started to enjoy the newly Taekwondo from 2009.

Are you starting to enjoy only in Taekwondo 2009?

Yes, because for ten years I could not do it ...

And how many could have withstood that pressure?

Are you that they are accustomed, but do not enjoy it, and predispose to you that things are well, but 2009 I felt that everything was different, on the one hand no longer felt pressure, London on the other hand was still far, I had not worked almost nothing this year, so were new to me and the joy that everything went very smoothly sensations and won my third world title.

Brigitte, get to your sixth World Championship in 2011 in Korea for the first time and you're not in the end so that from the outside I saw yours as a strategic mistake, What happened that day?

It is that I see far (Laughter), and as I saw the scoreboard was wrong and instead of seeing already ended, I thought you were 15 seconds and winning by two points. I remember having kiongo, we 15 when in fact it was 05, I did not leave then, I thought I would stay inside track to add another kiongo not yet rated wanted to try and get me. Too bad rate reached up and when it ends I want to continue the fight, then I looked as saying, if this is not over yet, and when I realized I say "oyster" and I was so fucking, but for the mistake and not because he had lost, Because I did not see!, because if I go see the score and do not respond staying within the track. If you receive a kiongo out and would have won by one and we went to the end ... but I saw 15, yo vi 15!, until that entered my head was frazzled because I was a silly error.

Another World, another medal. Gyeongju 2011.

For quite some time you have an administrative job post here in the CAR and other must train at a high level, How do you combine both?

Look after winning the World Championship 2009 I knew that my goal would be London, but he was also convinced that at my age could not train with the same intensity that kids younger. Eg 2010 it was like a transitional year, say even boring, had no global, no preolímpico then I knew it would be a year if not wisely be taking a heavy and boring year and I did not want that, that year then only make a training session a day, lived in my house, physical alternated one day and the next day the technician, the truth would take turns, trying not to overwhelm me myself.

When did you marry Ramos?

In 2009, those months that I was talked out, ahí me casé, did not know whether or not the Taekwondo back in those months and we got married.

A perception has on you when you go to the mat is that you seem weightless combat, no matter if you win or lose, always seem to be relaxed and calm. Is this really the case or is it something you project?

(Think) Actually I would not ... look, logically as I talked about earlier do not go out with the pressure coming out and enjoying the competition is more likely to see me so. No doubt there are fights where I am more tense than others, depends on the competition, rivals, but lately I have great confidence in the weapons that I have and that gives me peace of mind.

They came for the pre-Olympic London and met the Baku World Qualification and you can not get, What happened there?

To Baku was nice, controversy that had competed with normal Dickies and again the referees had in their hands the decision. On the other hand I did not get to the extreme pressure that was classified if outside, trying not to get very relaxed, but you know you're also a chance of continental qualifier. What happens at the end and you see that sales do not go up the points and grab you fear and that happened to me. I left the third assault in fear because you see as the trend is different and you know whatever you do it is very difficult to give you points and you tap panic and there is the error that can make you lose a fight and that happened to me.


How do you overcome that?

No problems, after so many years you know see what your mistakes are and I raised that if he would not lose that way. We had several championships later and went much more aggressive and things went well ...

That is true, Baku after I saw much more aggressive ...

One, one, undoubtedly, I think the main error in Baku had been out very quiet and did not do a fight like I usually do, then I see the videos, I analyze myself and I from there I changed it.

Are you self-critical analysis when?

If course, when I look at my watch video much more to me than my rivals. Miro MIS failures, my successes and failures in relation to is that I always try not to repeat them and that helps me a lot to study me myself permanently.

Happiness to achieve Olympic qualification for London 2012 Kazan.

You arrive at Continental Qualifier in Kazan, Russia and have a brilliant performance in which you saw as you say, focused and aggressive.

One, was nice but I felt a little nervous until. That if it was the last chance and went very focused on what he wanted to do. Remember that this could have been my last championship if not classified, why I came to win from the first second. So thinking that this was my last chance and could be my last competition will generate enough pressure while you know you have to go out and enjoy it, because it may be the last, but everything went really well.

And for London?

Good, I look forward to do well and if I fight like I did in Kazan'm sure I have a good chance of reaching the podium, pero let's see how the whole sale.

Does being seeded gives you some reassurance?

Not, no, no, in no time get up eso, I think why not relax. We are 16 with a tremendous hunger for medal, all working to get well to London, so I will not throw me with any, I value all the same, I have a special that tells you this I can not win, I train to beat all, more than any other, and as I said before, in the end you should be fine to make me, why should I worry about my failures and successes.

How do you see the changes in the new regulation?

I see exaggerated, have to adapt to all, but I think I exaggerate a little. Besides you never have a 100 % certainty how things will develop, Dickies be well if, if the carpet is slippery, no sé, are many factors that can lead to many changes day, but we're prepared for anything. An outline for a one for others and what else is going out at the time and we have to be able to adapt quickly.

The result at the Olympics may predispose your future somehow?

(Laughter) Man ... If ... If there be a way medal and if not there will be another, are different ways of ...

(Laughter) One, understand that they are different ways, but is there on those roads Taekwondo?

(Laughter) It can be ...

A nivel matrimonial, How to live and you're here and working in France Ramos?

Obviously I would like to have him around and train with him, but was offered the job in France, one of his dreams was to lead a national team and was given this great opportunity, so I'm very happy for him, and he deserves it.

Do you think that Ramos would have to work in Spain?

Clearly, yes ... I do not know what we will do, but clearly want to be together, in one place or another, but together. You never know what may come after, but together, So we are clear.

Do they think children?

It ¡! For January and we try to find a child ...

The son is one of the ways you told me it depends if you win the medal?

Not, no, medal or beech, seek a son for January.

Does that mean you've abandoned for January competition?

Not, eso solo represent a layoff of about a year.


¿You?

Clear (laughter)If we have a child ... I would be back for the World Cup prior to Rio 2016. I really would like to be able to go al the World Mexico to be pregnant.

What is it that makes it look different from the Olympics? They are always the same opponents, a tapestry with the same measures always, same referees ever ... Where is the difference?

Good, the importance that the environment gives this competition is what makes it different from other, More pressure is generated, more news, although the competitive environment we are exactly the same as many competencies that were already. Actually it different is what they mean to the world the Olympics.


Does being the selection of Spain generates extra pressure, considering that the last medal is to Esparza twelve years ago?

Not, not generate more pressure because we now our turn, I have no doubt that.

In a note to ask Elena le (Benitez) after winning seven medals at the World Denmark, that meant and he said: Now he gave us, the world's next for others and we will play the Olympics, then, ¿Tú matches eso?

One, one, us did not give us small details, those that mark when a point enters or does not enter, by decisions that make a combat decant to one side or the other, but now it was our time, I am convinced that. Had for years bad luck on our side and that will change now, I go with that idea now be the winning kick mine, as I did in the Olympic qualifiers in Kazan that he could get a winning kick down the sleeve, I want that to happen in London, where I will bring this action at other times not hard, there will come, I'm sure.


We christened Queen of Taekwondo, since you're the female winner of the world history of our sport, Think about it??

Is that still competing as I can not even think much about it, all I say but hey ... All the Queen saying masTaekwondo.com Taekwondo made me laugh. Sight, my mother is a person who suffers a lot with my skills, gets very nervous and in major competitions such as the European Olympic Qualifying was so nervous she cried, and I said: Breast please Lloris in, I am the Queen of Taekwondo (laughter), so I really like that phrase, For I will always repeat to my mother, quiet, win or lose and I'm the Queen of Taekwondo. But back to your question, I do not really put much thought about it because I feel that I still have the Olympic medal.

Brigitte, arrive at your peak of ripeness, motivated and excellently-ranked worldwide ...

(Laughter) I can not complain with my age, with what now costs me keep up with the others because of so many injuries that crawl through the years. Never a dosificaba workouts, made them butt and now yes I dose, I am more aware when I post more and I have to stop. If one day I train a lot in the, other and I regulate some. Experience teaches you a lot and if I'm tired or overloaded on a train, Seeking other things like the distance to work, time. I learned to always get out at all and do not always give the 100% ground for Darlo. Now physiotherapy is my second home (laughter).
