The award given to Maribel Toyos and Elisabet Sadó Garriga, two squash champions who won in a tournament held in Spain, has left everyone speechless and is now causing outrage as the athletes received a vibrator and wax to shave, in addition to their trophy.

The championship was held on May 10 and 11 at the municipal squash facilities in Corvera de Asturias. "The women who competed were surprised that when they received the trophies, trophies won by the Principality, the organizing club accompanied them with a gift, and in this case there were two hair removal kits, an electric file for the hardness of feet and a stimulator … intimate, put in the box, "said Sadó in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El País, assuring that the award made him feel" surprise and indignation."

According to the BBC, the women sent their prizes to the Asturian squash federation with a letter to make their complaint clear. There they asked that measures be taken in this regard.

According to said source, part of the staff of the Oviedo squash club submitted their resignation after what happened. "They probably just wanted to be fun or different," said Sadó.

"I think we live in a patriarchal macho society and that is seen in sports," said the champion, considered one of the best in the world. "I think that a woman, it is true that women today have access to sport, but not under the same conditions," he said.

Sadó assures that she and her partner have raised their complaint and revealed what their prize contained, not to advertise or attract attention, but to demand once and for all equality for women in that and all sports.

"The idea when making it public is that it does not happen again, simply," said Sadó. “May it neither occur in squash nor occur in other sports. That women can enjoy, compete and everything they want without having to receive these gifts.” So be it.
