One of the great things of sport is the ability to overcome the species, that each record, stratospheric as it may seem, can always be overcome, it takes more or less time to achieve it. Last Sunday he witnessed it, although due to those whims or coincidences that competition sometimes also offers us, three records were concentrated on the same date, three legendary brands equaled by three other no less mythical protagonists. According to the order of the clock, first it was Lewis Hamilton, who achieved in the Eifel GP at Nurburgring, the 91 victories of Michael Schumacher in Formula 1. An even greater achievement looms at the end of the season: the Kaiser's seven world titles. A bit later, Rafa Nadal added his 13th Roland Garros, a cosmic record in itself, and at the same time tied Roger Federer's 20 Grand Slams for the top of the ladder. The third, already in the early European morning, arrived from Orlando, with the Achievement of the 17th ring of the NBA by Los Angeles Lakers, the same ones that their eternal rivals, the Boston Celtics, show.
Three records in one go, six kings in the sports universe. Some feats that were accompanied by moving details, like that Schumacher helmet that his son Mick gave Hamilton on the podium, or the congratulatory words that Federer dedicated to his rival, and yet friend, Nadal. There are bilardist theories that advocate “the enemy or water”, but history shows that rivalry is not faced with elegance. Even Frazier and Ali, or Bartali and Coppi, ended up being friends. These three achievements also opened discussions among fans, questions such as whether Nadal is really at the height of Federer, which of course he is, or if LeBron James already competes in Michael Jordan's sky, that history and distance they will say it. Debates from another galaxy.
