S
eñor Presidente y miembros del Comité Olímpico Internacional,Hoy es un día pleno de satisfacciones para mí. En primer lugar, porque es un honor presidir la delegación de Madrid 2012.But also because I have the opportunity to do so here today, with the members of the Olympic Family. I have always felt part of it.For those of you who saw me enjoying the celebrations in Athens a year ago, at the 2004 Olympic Games, it will come as no surprise that I now stand before you at this presentation. It is a wonderful occasion, when I feel I may address you as a friend.This is a very special moment for me and for the Spanish Royal Family, when two very intense feelings come together: on one side, our pride in the excellent work done by Madrid, and on the other, our confidence that you will appreciate it and give it your support.As you know, the Olympic spirit has been with my Family for years, and it has encouraged us to participate in many Games.I myself had the honour of being in Naples as reserve crew to the boat skippered by my brother King Constantine during the Rome Olympic Games when he won the Gold Medal sailing in the dragon class.My husband King Juan Carlos took part, sailing in the dragon class in Kiel during the Munich Olympic Games.My daughter Cristina took part as reserve crew in the 470 class in Pusan during the Seoul Olympic Games.My son Felipe sailed in the Soling class in Barcelona obtaining a diploma, and my son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarín competed in Barcelona, Atlanta and Sydney, winning two bronze medals for handball, one in each of the last two cities.I have seen the projects of the five Bid cities. All of them have done a very good job, and I am certain that the future of Olympism is on solid ground and full of hope. The whole Spanish Royal Family is convinced that Madrid's proposals fulfil the conditions to offer the world the best Olympic Games.The Spanish Bid has met with unanimous political and social backing. My country can offer its proven experience in staging numerous sports and cultural events. Above all, Madrid 2012 has the wholehearted support of the people of Spain, a further guarantee of success.Finally, I wish to express my warmest regards and to thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering our Bid. We look forward to seeing you in Madrid.Zuletzt möchte Ich Ihnen noch meine herzlichsten Grüsse übermitteln, und mich bei Ihnen sehr herzlich bedanken. Wir erwarten Sie in Madrid!TELEIWNONTAS QA HQELA NA SAS DIABIBASW TOUS FILIKOUS MOU CAIRETISMOUS KAI NA SAS EUCARISTHSW EK BAQOUS KARDIAS GIA OLA.
