Palmares

In French we can establish that the etymological origin of the term we are dealing with is found. Exactly it comes from the Gallic word "palmarès" which, in turn, comes from Latin. Specifically, it emanates from "palmares", which can be translated as "he who deserves a palm." And in both Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, the winners of different competitions were awarded a plant crown or what was a palm leaf.

This is what the list of winners of a competition is called.

PalmaresFor example: "The Euro Cup winners have Spain and Germany as the top winners" , "If you look at the Copa Libertadores de América winners, you will notice that the Argentine teams are the most winners" , "A Japanese athlete inaugurated the winners of this competition thirteen years ago .

Among the terms that can function as synonyms for honors, we can highlight some such as history, trajectory, list of successes and even record.

The idea of ​​honors is also used to refer to the achievements obtained by an athlete or a sports team . In this case, the record is the history of the individual or the institution, focusing on its trophies or achievements.

Take the case of former American tennis player Jimmy Connors . His record includes more than a hundred titles on the ATP Tour , with Grand Slam tournaments such as the Australian Open , the US Open (five times) and Wimbledon (twice). He also reached the number 1 position in the world ranking.

In the same way we have to establish that the athlete with the most impressive record is the American swimmer Michael Phelps. He has become the most successful Olympic athlete in history as he has, among other recognitions, 23 gold medals.

The Uruguayan soccer team , for its part, has a great track record. Uruguay became world champion twice (in 1930 and 1950 ) and won fifteen editions of the Copa América . On the other hand, he won South American and Pan American championships in youth categories.

Precisely within the world's football field we have to highlight the FC Barcelona team. And it has a track record made up of 5 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Cup Winners' Cups, 3 Fair Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 2 Latin Cups, 4 Pyrenees Cups, 26 League titles, 30 Copas del Rey or 13 Spanish Super Cups, among other recognitions.

Not to mention that in 2009 he achieved a historic record of achievements. Yes, because in a single season he achieved six titles, all of which he aspired to. A milestone that no other team has achieved so far.

"Palmarés" , meanwhile, is the title of a Spanish TV program that was broadcast in 1976 . It had thirteen broadcasts and had two presenters: Bárbara Rey and Pilar Velázquez .
