English translation:right in the middle of/during/at the time of the Olympic Games
Explanation:
Just a guess as I don't have much context to go on:

I presume the person is saying to Maria that, as she was born at the time the Olympic Games were held (in Barcelona 1992??) she wouldn't have any idea what it was like to have lived in Franco's era.
