In his place was the Quinense cyclist of the San Luis Continental Team, Lorenzo Díaz. He was escorted by the captain of San Luis FC, Amira Camargo and basketball player Maximiliano González.
The rest of the track was made up of part of the San Luis delegation that achieved the historic third place in the 2021 Binational Games, adapted athletes and representatives of the 30 federations and associations that bring together all the sports and athletes of San Luis, who represent the province in national and international competitions.

Bruno De Genaro, for his part, agreed on the emotion of “reliving this parade in San Luis” because “these were very difficult years, in which we had to stay at home, so living this is beautiful and seeing all the athletes enjoying themselves is great”.
