00:00Colombia is one of the countries in the edition number 19 of the Panamerican games.
00:07These days in Santiago de Chile we have accompanied the national delegation
00:10in its different competitions, from the Oro of Mariana Pajón in the BMX
00:16to the historic title of the baseball team.
00:19They have been intense days here in Santiago de Chile,
00:22following the track to our athletes.
00:24Some days in car, others in bus, others in metro.
00:27There are also days of madrugadas, of long nights in which we stay in the empty spaces.
00:32That means following the national delegation here in the Panamerican games of Santiago de Chile.
00:37And in this new episode of our videoblog,
00:39we will tell you some details and curiosities of the Colombian delegation
00:44that triumphed in the Juegos of Santiago de Chile 2023.
00:54We are here from the Casa de la Moneda,
00:56which is the sede of the government and of the President in Santiago de Chile.
01:00You can see that the house is adorned with a few of each side,
01:04which is the official mascot of these Panamerican games.
01:08Colombia, here in Santiago de Chile, came with 390 athletes, 180 women
01:14and 203 men.
01:17Atletas that participate in 32 of the 39 sports that are in Santiago de Chile.
01:24There is an important data for the Colombian athletes
01:27that are here in the Panamerican games
01:29and are the incentives that will give the Ministry of Sport.
01:31For those who win gold,
01:34will be approximately a little more than 47 million.
01:38For those who win gold, a little more than 17 million.
01:41And for those who win bronze, a little more than 11 million.
01:46That history of medals that Colombia seeks to overcome
01:49in Guadalajara 2011,
01:51when the national delegation received 84 medals in Mexico.
01:56However, the best participation of Colombia in the Panamerican games
02:00was in Lima 2019 and Toronto 2015,
02:04when he achieved a total of 27 gold medals.
02:07That is the number that the national delegation
02:09expects to overcome here in Santiago de Chile.
02:12There are many medals that have been very specials
02:14for Colombia here in the Panamerican games.
02:17But perhaps the most beautiful
02:18was the of Rafael Cerro in the levantation of pesas.
02:21The truth is, I am very happy.
02:23It was worth all the preparation, all the effort,
02:27all the dedication,
02:28all the things I had to do to get to this moment.
02:30So many months have ended up in this moment
02:32and I am very happy.
02:33And also, for example,
02:34the of Natalia Linares,
02:35who also spoke with us after winning the medal of gold
02:39in the long run of the athleticism.
02:41Well, this is my armadura.
02:44Here I show you that I am going to fight,
02:46that I am going with everything,
02:47and that I am going for that medal of gold.
02:48And so it was.
02:49I showed you to the public,
02:50I showed you to Chile,
02:51and to Colombia,
02:51that there is to be a Natalia Linares.
02:53I came back with my belt,
02:55and my maquillage.
02:56One of the important aspects of Colombia
02:59in these Panamerican games
03:01is the fight in the medalist general.
03:03Currently, it is in the top five
03:04of the countries that fight
03:06for the medalist in the Panamerican games
03:08under the large sporting power
03:09like the United States,
03:11Mexico, Canada and Brazil,
03:12which are countries that are in another level.
