Alba Torrens, captain of the Spanish basketball team, is in Berlin participating in her fourth World Cup. At 37 years old, she is the most experienced player among the 12 selected for the tournament, being the only one who has previously participated in a World Cup. Her role on the team goes beyond basketball, serving as a leader both on and off the court.
Torrens' career is considered unique in Spanish basketball, with four participations in World Cups over the years. She acknowledges that she still doesn't know if this will be her last participation in the competition, a question she has been asking herself over time without finding a definitive answer.
In an interview before the World Cup, Torrens talked about how basketball helped her build herself as a person. According to her, the sport teaches you to demand from yourself, but also to forgive yourself. This philosophy has been fundamental to her long-standing career in professional basketball.
