As painful as it is to admit it in epic fashion, it’s not enough at the Olympics. Therefore, a large number of our country’s representatives took return tickets. Unable to reach the final stages of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In team sports, Men’s football, volleyball or hockey teams that had finished on the podium in previous editions were excluded from the competition early.
The handball gladiators failed to achieve positive results in highly competitive groups, while the basketball team, which won gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics and bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, could not even make an appearance at this great Christian event.
The road to female representation is even more rocky. They retain the only bastion of competition in the Lionesses’ collective discipline.
Finding national athletes in individual sports such as gymnastics, track and field, swimming or rowing is a discovery.
The same goes for judo or taekwondo, even if the latter wins a gold medal, like Paula Pareto at Rio 2016 or Sebastian Krismanic at London 2012 (Sebastián Crismanich).
Unusually, boxing, the sport that has contributed more medals to Argentina’s Olympic Games in history, is not represented in the French capital.
The only exception was José “el malino” Torres, who won a gold medal in the BMX freestyle competition, flying under the radar of locals and strangers alike.
As Albiceleste volleyball coaches Daniel Castellani and Marcelo Mendes underline, Sporting Argentina has its own seedbed in the epic of the club and many players who, like no other Feeling and defending your jersey is an added advantage to perseverance.
In these tournaments, it turns out that simply being the “most amateur among the pros” is no longer enough.
Nor does it represent the first national leader to attend the Olympic opening ceremony or bid farewell to the athletes. Then there’s also the huge difficulty of having a decent gym where they can train, attend preparatory competitions or get minimal travel expenses. Exclusive preparation allowed.
While the great powers invested in the Olympic movement, We rely on competitive players developed in other leagues, but also on personality. We await his heroic response.
Football is probably the most complete demonstration of the above, with a good team of players who don’t know how to play as a team and don’t find in certain personalities the savior on duty.
The departure of iconic Gladiators players such as Federico Fernández, Pablo Simonet or Federico Pizarro, as well as the loss of standard-bearer Luciano de Luciano De Cecco’s doubts about continuity may reflect the fatigue of a lack of response to the need for change.
Due to his selfishness and lack of empathy for the country where he was born and formed him, he views the former Lion as Rio 2016 Olympic champion Gonzalo Peillat celebrates his goal as Germany beat us 3-2.
In a country where poverty is so severe, it is worth considering whether the Olympic movement deserves another treatment.
Even more so whenThe organizers themselves have failed on basic issues such as providing a minimally comfortable Olympic Village; During protein feeding, the bed is suitable for resting or cooling the room.
Not to mention when talking about the lack of sanctions against offensive behavior, such as the one suffered by the Argentinian football team on their debut, or allowing them to represent another country after playing for their own national team. When there are no clear rules prohibiting transgender or female athletes from competing, their testosterone levels create an advantage over their opponents.
Although there are so many subjects to choose from, those of us who believe that sports are the perfect intersection of health and education can never doubt that poverty can also be eradicated through these avenues.
Epic passion, love for the jersey and talent today were not enough.
Decisive official support is also essential so that we do not become a history book in Olympic sports matters.
