Antioquia Force. There are three days of sports competitions left and something like 45 gold medals at stake, most of them in Calima-Darién where canoeing will award 28.
There will be three days of arduous competitions in Pereira, Armenia, Calima-Darién (Valle del Cauca), Bogotá and Chía, in Cundinamarca.
In Calima-Darién, there in Valle del Cauca, there will be 28 gold in canoeing, plus five gold in badminton and another five gold in judo here in Pereira, plus four in sport climbing in Bogotá and Chía (in this sport there is no Antioquia will be there, but they are medals that count in the medal table). The other three gold medals will be in Armenia. There in the capital of Quindío, two gold medals will be played in free BMX cycling and one in men’s handball.
The difference between Antioquia and Valle del Cauca, in the overall medal table, is 18 golds and with Bogotá 20. That difference is wide and truly big, but we cannot neglect ourselves… to fight until the end. The more gold we get, the closer we will be to the coveted award of general champions. Let’s go with everything, Antioquia, land of champions!
