The AULA D’HISTÒRIA (History Classroom) is a platform consisting of universities and cultural centres linked to sport, with the main aim of promoting the history of sport.
Each member of the platform organises an activity, such as, for example, a round table, exhibition or photography competition dedicated to the history of the Olympic movement and of sport in Barcelona and Catalonia. It is open to all students of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, as well as all those interested in the history of sport, according to the rules of each centre.
25th Anniversary of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games
At the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, the Spanish delegation won a total of 11 medals. Among them stood out two historic milestones: Gervasio Deferr’s gold in artistic gymnastics and María Vasco’s bronze in race walking — the first Olympic medal in Spanish athletics. Twenty-five years later, these achievements are celebrated with their protagonists.
