“I see him well, fit”, commented Pablo Motos before starting the interview. “I do a lot of sports. I try to cycle, especially on weekends when I have time. During the week I do some weights. Running”, Sánchez stated. “I try to play sports because in politics, especially for the stress and pressure we have, sport is essential.”

The presenter of ‘El Hormiguero’ was interested in the weight of Pedro Sánchez: “Right now I am at 94 kilos and I measure 1.90 meters.” “Who will catch him!” Motos exclaimed, referring to his short stature.
