Introduction to the love of life: On December 1, 1955, Maria Theresa Salisakis and Juan Antonio Samaranch held their wedding in Barcelona. Samaranch was already famous in the sports world at that time, and Maria was also proficient in five languages ​​and was elegant and generous. And because both parties came from well-known families, the "Spanish newspaper Avant-Garde" also published the grand wedding ceremony of the couple who were 12 years apart. The 2000 Sydney Olympics was the last Olympic Games that Samaranch participated in as the President of the Olympic Committee before leaving office. At this time, his wife Maria was suffering from cancer. When the opening ceremony was about to end, he received a call. The call from Barcelona revealed that Maria was critically ill and although he returned immediately, his wife died on his way home.
