Generation Z’s assault on power

Max Verstappen Y Daniil Medvedev this year they managed to stop the roller in their respective sports. The Dutchman stopped Lewis Hamilton at Formula 1 World Cup when he was shooting towards his eighth title, the one that served to tiebreaker with Michael sSchumacher. The Russian knocked down Novak Djokovic in the US Open and prevented him from adding his 21st Grand Slam, which was worth to break the tie with Reef Nadal Y Roger Federer at the top of tennis. Hamilton Y Djokovic They are not finished by these defeats, far from it. Both have broken cosmic records this season: the Englishman surpassed a hundred victories, no one had done it before, and the Serbian finished for the seventh year as number one, an also unprecedented mark. They are thirty-somethings who maintain their strength, but they have already received two clear warnings that there is a generation behind without complexes determined to assault power … The one they call the Generation Z. Both embody two good examples of what has happened in two great disciplines, but it happens in many. The tonic is general.

In MotoGP, to name more cases, Fabio Quartararo has snapped a nine-year streak with Spanish wins. In soocer, Mbappé Y Haaland knock on the door of Messi Y Cristiano, while here they grow Pedri Y Gavi. In golf, Jon Rahm Y Colin Morikawa They get muscle against the veterans. In athletics, Karsten Warholm Y Yulimar Rojas they achieve galactic records. In cycling, Tadej Pogacar already anticipated in 2020 his approach to the empire of Sky. Even in the Olympic record, without leaving Spain, new phenomena have emerged such as Alberto Gines, Adriana Cerezo Y Joan Cardona. It is a handful of examples, but there are many more. The old rockers are reluctant to give up their crowns, with increasingly long careers, but the youth has been hitting hard. And he’s not going to step back.
