Our team’s guard Sergio Rodriguez is awarded with the annual Canarian Prize – one of the highest regional awards. The official ceremony will take place tonight at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Unfortunately El Chacho wasn’t able to receive the prize personally from the hands of the Governor of the islands, he had to stay in Moscow due to logistical reasons.
Rodriguez is the first professional athlete to receive the award (it is given to people or institutions in recognition of a relevant and continuous career in favor of Canarian culture) since its introduction in 1984. This year he is awarded together with the poet Angel Sanchez Rivero and folk music group Los Gofiones.
