‘I can’t get out’: Olympic bronze medalist jokes about his low (and perfect) LoL rank
It’s common to see professional athletes enjoying video games in their spare time, and it turns out a 2024 Paris Olympics bronze medalist is also Bronze rank in League of Legends.
On Aug. 1, Spanish athlete Pau Echaniz competed in the slalom canoeing K-1 final at the Paris Olympics. With a time of 88.87 seconds, he earned the bronze medal, trailing Titouan Castryck and Giovanni De Gennaro from France and Italy. A few days later, on Aug. 5, Echaniz shared on X that he’s also a League player with a rank matching the medal he earned in Paris.
