The third South American Youth Games, to be held in Rosario, Argentina, will begin this Thursday and the Colombia Mission has already been installed in the city of Santa Fe to face the jousts that will take place in the Parque Único Suramericano, with 26 different disciplines .
About 2500 athletes from 15 countries meet on Argentine soil to participate in this competition for young people between 14 and 17 years. Colombia, which wants to play a good role, will participate in 24 sports with 194 young people.
Before the start of the competitions, the head of the mission, Jorge Franco, met with about 100 members of the mission, including athletes, coaches, delegates and officials to relay details of the Colombia team in Argentina.
“It is very important for the whole sports nation to have you here in Argentina, as ambassadors for Colombians at such important Games. We want them to speak well about our country, from sport to people, with good behavior and discipline,” Jorge Franco said at the meeting.
The meeting was attended by athletes and delegates from sports such as archery, figure skating, basketball, table tennis, tennis, gymnastics and wrestling, who will be the first to be active this week.
The first athlete to be active is tennis player Camilo Cano, who will make his singles debut this Thursday from 12 noon in Argentina, 10 a.m. in Colombia, against Brazilian Joao Schiessl.
