In his words, General Colón Rosario highlighted the quality of the games that closed today and also the success achieved by staging the 41st Military Judo World Cup in the country.

The Dominican Republic Air Force extended the first place laurels to eleven consecutive years by winning the 52nd version of the Sports Games of the Armed Forces and the National Police.
With a total of 73 gold medals, 67 silver and 48 bronze for a score of 1,209 points, the airmen managed to retain the crown of champions for the eleventh time in the event that brings together the four military institutions of the country.
Although the aerial triumph gave them the supremacy of the joust, it was not as easy as seen in fact, since the representation of the Army of the Dominican Republic planted a fierce fight to strip them of the supremacy of the joust by seizing 58 gold, 72 silver and 48 bronze to bill 1,084 points.
The difference between the two institutions was 125 points, a margin that compared to other versions was closed.
On this occasion, the National Police was left with the third position by dismantling 31 gold medals, 25 silver and 56 bronze, thus compiling 623 points.
The Dominican Republic Navy had 28 gold, 29 silver and 40 bronze for 545 accumulated points.
The hegemony of the representatives of San Isidro began in the 2011 version when paratrooper colonel Ricardo de Jesús Céspedes López began the series that has continued to date.
Prior to the aerial triumph, the representation of the Army had had three consecutive versions under the reins of today’s Major General Julio César Hernández Olivero.
