00:07The fourth edition of the Juegos of Mariplaya in the Golf of Morrosquillo
00:10came to its final this Saturday, October 30. The Department of the Valle del Cauca
00:15confirmed its bicampeonato after reaching the first place of the medalist,
00:20as it did before four years ago in Tumaco during the third edition of the Juegos.
00:25The Vallecaucanos consiguieron the title thanks to their 16 gold medals, 13 gold medals and 10 gold medals,
00:32for a total of 39 preseas. The work of the Valle del Cauca ratifies the power of this department,
00:39as it is necessary to remember that in the Juegos of 2019, the Vallecaucanos also climbed with the championship.
00:47We are going to go with the satisfaction of that the medals that we had in 2017 in Tumaco,
00:53today we have overcome it. This generates for us a hit that the work that we have been doing
01:00from the Valle del Cauca is a work that gives positive results, but also that goes in ascent and
01:05growth and that evidently the message is that today the fact of being a deportist in the Valle has
01:12an opportunity to continue to see it as an option of life, but also where we have the
01:19direction that is completely committed to continue to be consolidated.
01:22For us it is very important to ratify the medals at the national level because that
01:27gives us the opportunity to have more support in our department and those support for us are
01:33very important because it is what position us and gives us the opportunity to go to international competitions.
01:51The title of the Valle del Cauca was in doubt until the last minute because Bolívar
01:55fought head to head to head to head to head to head to head to head to head to head
01:58to head.
02:02and ended in seconds in the table of the medallery with 13 preseas of gold.
02:07The Bolívar became strong especially in the modalities of surf and motonautics,
02:12discipline in which were the great dominators,
02:15getting 5 of the 12 medals that there were in disputation.
02:18Well, the delegation of Bolívar has a lot of strong sports.
02:24It was a difficult year, it was a difficult year, it was 20-20, 20-21.
02:30For them, our athletes have had a little bit of difficulty,
02:35I will not deny it.
02:37But we always tell us with them because they are very strong.
02:40I admire them, I respect them, I feel very proud.
02:43They are very proud of us, they gave us a role in these national games of Mar y Playa.
02:49So, how does Bolívar come?
02:52We are strong, strong, strong, strong and strong,
02:55to defend the colors of Bolívar.
02:56They are always very happy to represent the flag of Bolívar.
03:00Bogotá, for their part, finalized third in the classification of the medallery
03:04after a fairly irregular start.
03:06It was in the last two days of competition
03:08in which the Delegation Capitalina
03:10se acomodó in the medallery
03:12thanks to its seven first positions in disciplines
03:14like the volleyball, the ski nautical
03:16and the sub-aquatic activities.
03:19It was a difficult competition for the conditions,
03:22for the competitors,
03:24but in general, Bogotá,
03:25it was a very good job in ski
03:27and in general, all the sportists.
03:31The Juegos de Mar y Playa
03:33se cerraron en las playas de San Antero,
03:35en el departamento de Córdoba,

03:49Excelente todo porque hubo mucha competencia,
03:53hubo mucha rivalidad,
03:56pero también hubo mucha hermandad
03:58dentro de todas las delegaciones
04:00porque hacía años no se veían,
04:02entonces esto fue un principio
04:04después de la pandemia para encontrarse.
